Hello Hawk Families!

Please plan to join us on Thursday, February 2nd, 6:30 PM for our PTA Meeting. Come meet other families and enjoy learning about our school community. This is a great time to connect with our front office admin and staff as well. This month's guest speaker will be a local banking expert, who will be discussing financial investing for children. As always, all are welcome and child care will be provided by Bar-T.

Thank you volunteers, for helping with the initial phase of our composting program. It has been wonderful to see so many parents pitching in to help guide the students! Please consider signing up for a shift for February!
