Congratulations to Mrs.

Frizzi’s 6th grade class for

winning last week’s

Spirit Award!

Thank you for making the first week of

school successful. From the Red Carpet

Welcome to our Back to School Nights,

the halls of Hawkins were filled with

the excitement and hope of a new year!

On Friday, we had Welcome Back As-

semblies to go over our expectations and rules for the upcoming

school year. At the assembly, I shared our theme for the year with

students, which is “If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change

you.” We discussed that when we struggle through challenges in

life and persevere, we come out stronger, more satisfied and trans-

formed on the other side. We talked

about Michael Phelps’ story of struggle

and triumph and how he teaches us that

success is not defined by never falling,

but by how we rise up after we fall.

Our School Site Council will be meet-

ing on Tuesday. We are currently

seeking 2-3 parents willing to run for a

position on the School Site Council. This is a team of parents,

staff, and administrators who create our school plan and make deci-

sions on how the school budget is

spent. If you are interested in running

for the School Site Council, please

email me for details. This week we will

also have our first Hawkins Parent Fac-

ulty Club (HPFC) meeting on Wednes-

day. This is a wonderful opportunity to participate in our school

community. We will be planning school wide event for our school

community and invite you to join the team. Let’s work together to

make this the best school year yet!
