We're looking ahead to next week - HAWK WALK WEEK! Make sure to order your Race Kits before Monday. Kits will go home with students on Wednesday so they have a day to decorate their race shirts.

Visitors are invited to attend the Hawk Walk on Friday the 9th. Please be courteous of our neighbors and each other with parking. Enter through any of the outside gates - the school building will be completely locked from 9:30AM until after the race.

Have a great rest of your weekend.
