Hanawalt Community Notes
March is All About Reading
Get ready for Read-A-Thon and a free book fair! Throughout March kids can join the Tower of Books Challenge to promote reading and raise funds for Hanawalt’s library. We will also be having a “book fair” where kids can select one free Scholastic book and also choose from books donated by other families. More details coming soon!
Coins and Clicks for Creativity
Incentive update! The whole school can earn up to 20 minutes of extra recess if we reach our Coins for Creativity goal! The first round of our Coins for Creativity drive is due tomorrow, 2/25. We’ll be sending home a second baggie that you can fill with some pocket change or coins from a piggy bank and turn in by Friday, 3/4.
We utilize this to pay artists fees and for supplies for the unique projects the kids will create during A Week in the Arts. Everything helps!
You can also donate on the Hanawalt Community website at hanawaltcommunity.org.
Parents Night Out
This April event features fun with other parents and a silent auction with great stuff from area businesses. If you own a business or have other connections, we are looking for donations for the auction. Can you or your business donate a service or a special experience? Host a gathering that highlights your hobby, special skills or your host/hostess superpower. Or get your neighbors together to gather a creative basket! Email jill.delancey@gmail.com if you can help.
Save the date for April 21st at 6:30 pm. More event information coming soon!
