The creativity and generosity captured the spirit, pride, and unity of our Hawes community from a whole new perspective. We're so grateful for the time and talent in helping us celebrate this special week in such a memorable way!

Special Congratulations to Mrs. Arsenault's class for having the highest percentage for PTSA Classroom Drive ... let's see who gets to host mini stuffie RalphE in their classroom next!

Congratulations to Mrs. DeStefano's class for achieving over 99% Attendance during the second month of school. They narrowly beat out Mrs. Zankich's class with over 98% attendance. I enjoyed supervising an extra ten minutes of recess with the winning class. Thank you for making attendance at school a priority. We appreciate it.

Student Council is sponsoring a canned food drive in partnership with Sowers and Edison ASB.

Please support them by having your child bring in cans to their classroom starting tomorrow - November 3. Let's see if we can fill all the classroom boxes and more during the season of Thanksgiving!

In Gratitude,

Dr. Fran Hansell
