Fifth Grade Monolouges

On Friday, Mrs. Tyler's class presented their monologues. The assignment was to create a narrative monologue describing a chapter from the book Espernza Rising. They needed to create a monologue that establishes the situation and introduces the characters, explain how the narrator responds to the event or situation, and provides a sense of closure. They did amazing job adding details and making you feel what the character felt.

Poetry Cafe

Mr. Hines hosted a Poerty Cafe. The students shared their original poetry with a room full of parents, classmates and staff. They were fanastic!

Hanawalt Community Notes

R Party

Hanawalt Families! Saturday, November 12 is the annual R Party, hosted by the Roosevelt Foundation. As future Riders, this event will support infrastructure needs of Roosevelt activities, which will have a lasting impact on programs. This work directly translates to supporting Hanawalt students when they get to Roosevelt. However, the R Party is more than just a fundraiser for Roosevelt. Proceeds from the R Party are given back to the feeder schools. In fact, last year Hanawalt received a grant for our SEL programming. Get tickets to support this community endeavor at https://www.trhsfoundation.org/rparty
