🦬 5th graders at Halverson learned about the beliefs and values of the Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) culture and the impact of westward expansion on their culture throughout module 1 of Wit & Wisdom. Today, students celebrated their learning by sampling some Nez Perce food and drink, as noted in one of our texts from the module. 🍓

🎉 What a fun week at Hawthorne! 🎉

Last week, our students celebrated their Walk-a-Thon reward with an exciting Glow Dance Party! 🕺💃 The cafeteria was filled with glowing lights, laughter, and amazing dance moves from our Tigers.

💡 Some students also had the special honor of being Teachers of the Day. They helped lead their classes, took attendance, and even joined teachers for lunch in the lounge. They did an incredible job stepping into the teacher role for the day!

We’re so proud of our hardworking Tigers and all the fun ways we celebrate their effort and school spirit. 💙🐾❤️

🧡🐾 Hawthorne Buddy Breakfast 🐾🧡

We had an amazing turnout for our Buddy Breakfast this morning. Students and families came together to enjoy donuts, laughter, and great conversation while celebrating friendship and connection.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and what better way to show our commitment to kindness than by spending time together as a school community. At Hawthorne, we stand for kindness, inclusion, and respect every single day. 🧡

Our 4th graders had an amazing adventure today at the Humane Society! This real-world experience tied perfectly to their Wit & Wisdom lessons inspired by the book Love That Dog. After meeting some furry friends and learning how we can help animals in our community, they enjoyed a picnic lunch at the park.

A big thank you to SPIRIT and our families for your generous donations to the Humane Society. You made this special day possible!
