Dear Hawes Families,

A huge thank you to our incredible TK team and all the parent volunteers who helped make our TK Monster Mash such a spooktacular success! Your creativity, energy, and teamwork brought so much joy to our littlest Hawks. Events like these shine because of your dedication and heart - thank you for making the magic happen!

Special thanks to TK Monster Mash helpers - Lauren Chandler, Daisy Clarke, Ashley Cogman, Chelsey Crouse, Alexandra Galunke, Jessica Giglio, Brittany Holbrook. Norelao Macapagal, Cherise Minadero, Jennifer Minevich, Srah Moser, Jessica Nerney, Ketherine Nyugen, Thuy Nguyen, Elizabeth Reid, Theresa Richards, Nicole Spoolstra, Erica Swanson, Kim Tran, Linda Tran, Bo Vandenbrink, Kayla Weber, and Bevin Wong.

Red Ribbon Week is here! Lots of wonderful activities this week, culminating in a Spirit Day on Friday 10/31/25 - Crazy Dress-Up Day! We will also be holding a Recognition Assembly at 8:45am by the lunch tables on 10/31/25.

Please note the date change fpor our special Veteran's Day Assembly on Monday November 3, 2025 at 8:45 am. You are welcome to join us in celebrating our country and the people who have served it, from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. Please invite friends, family and neighbors, who have served or are serving in any branch of the Armed Services.

As a gentle reminder, when coming to campus for a meeting or conference before or after school, please plan for your child to remain at home during that time. The school office is a busy space and not able to provide supervision for students. We appreciate your understanding and partnership in keeping all students safe and ensuring the office remains available for school business and students needs.

PTSA has requested to send a separate message starting this week, as people had mentioned there was a lot of scrolling to do to get the the PTSA messages. You should have received the PTSA weekly message last Thursday, We hope this will help you stay in touch with school happenings and PTSA happenings separately and save on the scrolling you need to do. I will continue to send a scheduled school message every Sunday at 5:00 pm. Thank you for your flexibility with this change,

In Gratitude,

Dr. Fran Hansell
