From the Principal
Dear Hawkins Families!
Please remember that we have no school next week Wednesday-Friday, November 21, 22, and 23rd. We also do not have school on Monday, November 26th for records day. Due to the short week next week, we will not be sending a weekly newsletter home next week.
Before I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving, I would like to share with you about all of the reasons why I am thankful to be at Hawkins Elementary. First and foremost, I am thankful for being able to spend my day with your children. It is truly a blessing and an honor to be a part of your child's life. I am thankful for our incredible staff. If you could only see how hard they work for your children. It is inspiring. I am so glad to be working alongside them to help your children develop into learners and leaders. I am also thankful for you and your support. The trust that you have given us with your children is humbling. The support you have always shown me and our school is also unprecedented. Thank you for making my heart full everyday when I come to Hawkins. I would like to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving full of joy, family, and fun.
With gratitude,
Basia Kiehler
