Hawthorne Happenings
Week of 3/20-3/21
Hello all,
Here are the highlights from last week:
- Fire Drill - Great job getting the kids out of the building quickly! We made record time again in clearing the building. I really like our color card system. From my side, it makes it so much easier to quickly see if anyone is in need of assistance.
- St. Patrick's Day - It was fun to see how excited our kids were about trying to capture leprechauns. There were traps set, rooms turned upside down, paint footprints on floors and tables, and all sorts of other mischief. Our students really enjoyed it! Those are things our students will remember and help them make positive connections to school. I appreciate you all putting in the time to have fun like this.

March Madness Challenge

The second round is still in progress, but there will be some shakeups in the leaderboard for sure with Villanova and Lousiville going down. Here is the current leaderboard through the first round:
- T1st place - 28 pts - Ed Quinlan & Andrea Worster
- T3rd place - 27 pts - Deb Pezley, Jen Bruce, & Kristie Watson
- T6th place - 26 pts - Staci Beekhuizen, Kathleen Morgan, Tracy Hartis, Amy Johnson, & Bryan Kies
