Happy Friday!!

Hi All!!  It has been a fast week here in room 205.  My student bloggers, Max, Bella, Brandon, and Tori are busy writing their summaries of our learning; stay tuned for that post.  As for me,  I have a long list of events to tell you about:

Parent Orientation: 

This upcoming Thursday is our Parent Orientation.  It will be from 6:00 to 7:30.  Parent Orientation is a great way to find out about your child's day, the procedures, and expectations of the classroom and school.  You will also sign up for parent/teacher conferences at this time.  The students have been hard at work preparing for your visit.  Please mark your calendar to attend.

Fundraiser:

 

Monday, I sent home a packet for our PTA Fundraiser.  Our PTA is an amazing organization that helps to support the students of our wonderful school.  PTA helps pay for field trips, supplies for students and teachers, and contributes to wonderful social events for our school community.  By participating in the fundraiser you are helping our PTA continue its long standing tradition of serving Hawthorn's students. 

Fundraiser packets are due Sept. 10th.

This year several Hawthorn staff members are sponsoring exciting clubs!  Below is a list of clubs available to our students.  Please read the descriptions of each club carefully because many have grade level restrictions.

Watch D.O.G.S.:

An RSVP was sent home today for the upcoming Watch D.O.G.S. Pizza Night on Tuesday, Sept. 11th from 6-7 pm.  If you are interested in becoming a Watch D.O.G.S. or learning more about the program be sure to attend.  Hawthorn kids truly LOVE working and playing with their Watch D.O.G.S.

The 10th Annual Hawthorn Fall Festival will be on Friday, Sept. 14th from 4-8 pm.  and we need your help!

At the fall festival each class will have a basket to raffle off to earn money for our PTA.  Raffle tickets will be sold for $1.00 each.  Each grade level has been assigned a theme.  Simply find a new item that fits the theme and donate it to your child’s classroom basket. All donations are needed by Tuesday, September 14^th.  Thanks for your help!

Grade Level themes are:

Kindergarten: Action figures & dress up
1^st  grade: Arts and Crafts2nd  grade:  Disney items
3^rd grade: Board games, lego,  or puzzle

4^th grade: Sports
5^th  grade: Movies

Finally, for those of you who like having a hard copy of reminders, I have included a link to a newsletter reminding you of next weeks upcoming events.  

Have a great Labor Day weekend!
