Husky Families,
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and we are so excited to celebrate the incredible educators who make our school such a special place! Our teachers go above and beyond every day to support, inspire, and care for our students and they truly deserve all the recognition we can give. We have a full week of fun activities planned to honor them, and you can find more details in the Booster’s update below.
Families are more than welcome to join in the celebration! Whether it’s a handwritten note, a small token of appreciation, or simply a heartfelt “thank you,” your kind words and gestures go a long way in reminding our teachers how much they’re valued. Let’s make this week a memorable one for our staff!
Please take a moment to review the important updates below. As always, thank you for your support in making Hawfields a great place to work and learn!
