Merry Christmas to all of our Hawthorne families who celebrate. Wishing you so much love and happiness this holiday!
Students and staff had a fun morning WITH SANTA!!! We sang, danced, ate doughnuts, and took pictures with The Big Man, himself! Hawthorne wishes all of you a safe and happy winter break!
Today is the shortest day of the year. Does anyone know what today is called? If you guessed Winter Solstice, you're correct! Brighter, and longer, days ahead!
It has been SO fun seeing everyone's fanciest clothes!! Don't forget, tomorrow is everyone's favorite day!!! PAJAMA DAY!!!!
We are so proud of these Hawks for having perfect (or nearly perfect) attendance all year long! Coming to school is the best way to ensure learning & social development and we love to celebrate those who show up each and every day. Congratulations, Hawks!

*REMINDER* The Scholastic Book Fair is Coming!
Wed, Dec 13th - Tues, Dec 19th in the Hawthorne Media Center
Did you know? The Power of Choice: Children who read for pleasure are likely to do significantly better in school than their peers who rarely read. Self-selected reading (aka choice!) is twice as powerful as teacher-selected reading in developing motivation and comprehension.
