Haw River Hype

We are excited to see everyone back in the building on Monday, April 17th. We hope each of our Lion Cub Families had a restful and relaxing Spring Break!

The week before Spring Break, we started the 4th Nine Weeks off in a BIG way! Our 5th graders graduated from D.A.R.E. The 2nd-grade classes went on an amazing field trip to Chestnut Ridge. Some of our Lion Cub Leaders competed in the Special Olympics. Check out the slide show below to see all the great things that happened the week before Spring Break!

This week we are in the homestretch near the end of the 2022-2023 school year. Our book fair will begin on Monday (please see more information below), and we are having Duke Energy Science Night for families on Thursday, April 20th. Pelican's Snowballs will even be there with their tasty treats!

Our Lion Cubs have been working hard all year, so please help us support and encourage them so we can finish the year strong!

We will be having an Austim Acceptance Spirit Week, the week of April 24-28. Stay tuned for more information.

We have some exciting news! We now have an online "spirit store" that will stay open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can order shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, book bags, pants, blankets, and so much more. You can access the store by clicking here, scanning the QR code on the picture below, or clicking the picture below. The store is also linked to our Haw River Elementary webpage. They are running a grand opening promotion until the end of April for 25% off all purchases.

Each week during morning announcements, Mr. Bryan will announce the “Lion Cub Lingo” Words of the week. These words have been pulled from an academic vocabulary list that are most commonly used on formative and summative assessments. Students that use those words with adults in the building in the correct context can be rewarded with a House Point.

What It Is:

“Sharpening the saw” means taking time for ourselves every day because we recognize that it gives us the ability to do everything else. Habit 7 aligns with the principles of renewal, continuous improvement, and balance. Check out some of the ways you can practice self-renewal below.

The points leader of the whole school for the 22-23 school year is Jordyn R., in 2nd grade! She currently has earned 293 House Points so far this year!

The points leader of the whole school for last week was, Fernando M., in 1st grade with 10 points!

The teacher that awarded the most points to students last week was Mrs. McKenna, our Art Teacher. She awarded a total of 166 points! Thank you for recognizing the many positive and great things our students are doing and celebrating their successes!

In first place is Excelsior, with 11,935 points. The points leader for last week was Fernando M., in 1sr grade. The Excelsior points leader for this school year and the 3rd nine weeks is Jordyn R., in 2nd grade.

It has been an amazing 3rd quarter at Haw River Elementary! Here is a copy of our recent Student Support team activities:

Warm regards,

Ms. Tricomi, Ms. Hill, and Ms. Rice

So far this year, students have earned $16,381 in Cub Currency and 16,273 in House Points for academic growth!

This year students have grown 48,536 points from BOY to MOY. That is equal to 8,089 TOUCH DOWNS!!!

We are heading into the last "quarter" of our "Football Game" for the Data Super Bowl and every point of growth counts! Let's show our families, community, and district how much students grow at Haw River Elementary!

We learn, we lead, and we succeed!

Vision:
