In this season of love, one writer says that reading with a child is one of the best ways to show them you love them. Here is why.

* They have your attention.

* They have your time.

* They have your focus.

I challenge Hawthorne families to dedicate a little time each day to read to a student, have a student read to you or read a book together.

Reminder, we are out of school on Monday for Presidents' Day.

Have a wonderful three day weekend! Mr. Butler

Please check your child's bookbag in the mornings before they come to school. We have been seeing an increase of inappropriate items brought to school lately. Toys are not allowed at school. Also, our lost and found rack is overflowing with jackets, coats, sweaters, hats and gloves. Remind your student(s) to check the rack in the cafeteria if you are missing these items.

Just a reminder- when changing your afternoon transportation arrangements, you must call the office before 1 pm. We cannot guarantee that the message will get through if you call late in the day. A better solution is to write the teacher a note in the morning when they come to school.

Also, the teachers would love donations of the following: baby wipes, disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer. We have been hit hard with various illnesses this winter and are trying our best to manage germs within the classrooms.
