Why Grandparents Are So Important. ... Grandparents can often talk to their grandchildren in a way that the child's parents can't, because they're not as emotionally invested in the issue as the primary caregiver. They have a wealth of knowledge gained through their lifetime of experiences and can share with it children as they grow. Next week is Grandparents' Week at Hawthorne. We are celebrating our special relationships with these important life influences. Please see the schedule below. This is just a guide. You may attend another day if your child's day does not work for you. We are excited for next week and hope to see lots of grandparents! Also, during the week of September 23rd, we will celebrate Pink Week and College Week to give us an opportunity to support breast cancer awareness and to get kids excited about furthering their education. Mr. Starks and Miss Kauth are organizing the details and will share those with everyone next week. There is a lot going on in HawkNation, please take advantage of getting involved. Have a wonderful weekend.

Mr. Butler #TAKEACTION!

Monday, Sept. 16, begins our Book Fair and we are excited about the new titles that are available from Scholastic. Students may come down and shop during the school day and we welcome grandparents to shop with them during lunch because it is Grandparents' Week as well! We can get kids excited about reading by choosing great books to fill up home libraries, and by reading aloud to them every day! And remember, books make great gifts, so start your shopping at our Book Fair!

This fall, MSD of Warren Township will be creating a comprehensive strategic plan based on community input that will ensure all students and staff have the conditions necessary to develop and apply Journey of a Graduate (JoG) skills and dispositions. The Journey of a Graduate skills are a set of 6 skills and dispositions that have been identified by our community needed for success in and out of school. The JoG skills are Critical Thinking, Citizenship, Communication, Collaboration, Content Knowledge, and Resilience. These JoG skills will serve as the foundation of the district strategic plan.

One way the district will capture community input is through an online survey. Linked below is a short survey that will ask questions around our strengths as a district and help us identify areas for improvement. ://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSrLnwrx4AZnV5cgO30vML63TVtXIT1mm758VmH58Tvxxyfg/viewform
