Hawk Happenings!

HRBA

Happy Wednesday!

Thank you so much for getting those registrations in. Our 2nd/3rd grade is just about full and we will wait-list, in case we will be able to divide those classes for next year. The other classes are filling up, as well...especially since we are keeping our class sizes low for next year. So far, we have already gotten several new students for next year and we are only on day 3 of open registration for new families. Please keep getting the word out so we can continue to build that enrollment! Yay, Holy Rosary...onward and upward!!


I hope you are enjoying this beautiful sunshine. It is nice to be out enjoying our great Pacific Northwest! Have a wonderful week.


Blessings,

Katie Dempsey

Principal

Auction...Coming Soon!

Auction Fun Facts:

Did you know that an Australian man tried to sell New Zealand on Ebay in 2006. The highest bid? $1,300...before Ebay shut it down for a violation of their terms.


Upcoming Auction Items:

Check out one of our live auction items...a 3 day, 2 night get away at "Snow Falling on Cedars". This is a home that sleeps 12 in Seabrook. It is AMAZING. Check it out at: https://www.seabrookwa.com/vacation-rentals/snow-falling-cedars (see photo below).


Do you need volunteer hours? If so, we have a deal for you! For each person who registers for the auction and is an active bidder, you will receive 2 volunteer hours. So, get grandma and grandpa, aunts, uncles, and all of your friends and family to help you out while they help the school with the auction. As long as they are registered and actively bidding on items, you will receive 2 hrs per person. Just give us a list of who is attached to you and we will add those hours!

COVID Tests - Free and Available AT SCHOOL!

We have received hundreds of Abbott Binax rapid tests free of charge from the Dept of Health. They simply require a swab in the person's nose, a few drops of a reagent, and a simple card that is sealed for 15 mins. It will give a single line (negative) or double line (positive) for COVID-19. This is excellent news as it will allow us to test mildly symptomatic individuals and get the results within 15 mins to determine whether or not they need to be sent home or if they can stay in school (kids or staff/adults). If your child requires the use of a test, we will contact you to get your approval. These tests expire March 10th so if you need a test yourself, feel free to contact us. We hate for them to go to waste. For more information on the tests, go to: https://www.abbott.com/BinaxNOW-Test-NAVICA-App.html


We are hoping we can continue to get these throughout the rest of this year. Fingers crossed!
