Homecoming is upon us! Dress-up days for Early Learning + Elementary - GO TIGERS!

A huge thank you to our friends at the Moose for their generous donation of school snacks for the Hawthorne kids! 🍎🍪 Fueled kids are happy learners, and our community is so fortunate to have partners who step up to care for our students. Thank you for helping us keep those bellies full and minds sharp! 💙 Hawthorne appreciates you!

Ask Mrs. Schewe about her "I can't wait to tell you!" Board in 4th grade! Thank you for making kids feel SEEN, Mrs. Schewe!

When a child feels truly seen, their whole world expands, and so does ours. In our classroom families, our walls are lined with big hopes, quiet dreams, and brave beginnings. Community isn't just a lesson here; it’s the daily practice of lifting each other up and proving that we never grow in isolation. Here’s to every dream taking root today, and the classroom family growing together to reach them. ✨🌱

Buzz off, bees! 🐝💥 Our creative 2nd graders found the ultimate way to stay safe outside today with Mr. Wilson-dodging bees and practicing their best strikes with pool noodles! 😂 A massive shoutout to our incredible PTO for going all out to protect our kids. They hung kid-friendly bee traps with sugary bait around the play area so our students can safely get their fresh air. Thank you to our amazing community for always rallying around our kids to keep school fun and safe! 💛🖤

Seeing our English Language learners thrive starts with one simple thing: making sure they know they belong. ❤️ Mrs. Madore has an incredible gift for making every EL student feel seen, valued, and celebrated for exactly who they are - rich heritage, native language, and all. Thank you, Mrs. Madore, for being a champion and turning diversity into our community's greatest strength!

💙 Thank You, Hawthorne Community! 👮‍♂️🚌 What an amazing day at Hawthorne Elementary! Today was all about connection and safety, starting with warm smiles at Breakfast with a Cop, then with interactive Bus Safety Training. Prioritizing Relationships: Our students loved sharing breakfast and getting to know our local officers in a fun, relaxed environment. Putting Safety First: Hands-on bus safety taught our young learners how to stay secure and confident on their rides. A huge thank you to our local police officers, transportation team, staff, and families for pouring into our kids today. We are so grateful for a community that puts our students first! 💙✨
