OPEN HOUSE
Thank you to all of the families who joined us for last week's Open House. It was a great night for people to get re-acquainted with each other and check out some of the happenings at Hawthorne. We had a great response to our first Scavenger Hunt with hundreds of participants. Special congratulations to the Ranu, Kollinsky, Wiggesworth, Barton and Mountain families. They successfully completed the challenges and have each won two front row seats to our Christmas Concerts in December.
TERRY FOX RUN
On Friday, September 13th Hawthorne participated in its annual Terry Fox Run. Our grade seven students led us through a warm-up and then the course. Thank you to the many parents who joined in the fun. Special thanks to those families that supported our fundraising efforts which led to a $600 donation to the Terry Fox Foundation.
MONTHLY ASSEMBLIES
Parent are invited to join us for our Monthly Assemblies which take place on the first Friday of every month (with some exceptions). These assemblies feature different discussion topics, student activities, video highlights and a group dance. We hope that your schedule allows you to attend.
