The Hawk Talk
'Together, We Can Make a Difference.' November 1, 2019
Principal's Point
The key to how you treat people lies in how you think about them. It's a matter of attitude. What you believe, is usually revealed by how you act. One writer said: "Treat a man as he appears to be and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be." At Hawthorne, we strive to see the best in all people and have the belief that we can provide the support needed for all of Hawk Nation to reach their potential. We want all students, families, and staff to know that someone loves them for who they are and sees them for what they can be. #HAWKPRIDE
Have a wonderful weekend. Mr. Butler #TAKEACTION
TOWN HALL MEETING
We are inviting all families and community members to join us at Hawthorne Elementary School on Tuesday, November 19th for a Town Hall Meeting. In this meeting we will discuss Warren's Journey of a Graduate. The goal is to gain the perspectives of families and community members on where Warren is heading and how Warren might better serve the eastside of Indianapolis.
Here are some questions we will ask in small groups:
· What makes Warren’s schools unique and successful?
· What’s one area where you think Warren’s schools need to do better?
· In which 1-2 areas of the Journey of a Graduate do you think Warren is most successful? Give examples of what the district does to achieve success in these areas.
· In which 1-2 areas of the Journey of a Graduate do you think Warren needs to change its approach or work harder in order to be successful? Why are we falling short in these areas?
