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 positive response to our Scavenger Hunt with hundreds of participants. Special congratulations to the Ljungberg, Jerret, Rogers, Willford and Wischnewski families. They successfully completed the challenges and have each won TWO front row seats to our Christmas Concert in December along with some school clothing for their children.
TERRY FOX RUN
On Friday, September 18th 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 our celebration of a Canadian hero. Special thanks to those families who supported our fundraising efforts with all funds donated to the Terry Fox Foundation.
