Spring Has Sprung… But So Have the Ghosts! 

Who says Halloween only belongs in October? At Hawkwood School, we believe fun is always in season—and we’re bringing back one of our most fang-tastic traditions!

Our beloved Halloween Dance (that was sadly boo-ed away in October 👻) is rising from the grave and making its grand return on:

April 23rd
6:00–8:00 PM

All children must be accompanied by an adult (18+)

Get ready for a night full of monster mash-ups, ghoulish grooves, and spine-tingling dance moves—because nothing says APRIL BOOLS like costumes, cobwebs, and a dance floor full of laughter!

This event has long been a Hawkwood favourite! Whether kids dress up as witches, superheroes, skeletons, or something totally original, it’s all about dressing up, dancing it out, and having a frightfully good time with friends. (no weapons please)

Why a Spring Halloween?
Because we just couldn’t ghost one of the most loved events of the year! Plus, mixing pumpkins with petals? That’s a combo that’s simply un-boo-lievable.

🙌We Need Your Help!
To make this night a screaming success, we’re looking for volunteers to help with:

• Decorating (think spooky meets spring!)
• Music & dance floor fun
• Treat tables
• Set-up and clean-up

Even a little bit of time helps—many hands make light (and fun) work!

So mark your calendars, dust off those costumes, and get ready to boogie with the boos. Let’s make this a night to remember—no tricks, just treats and tons of dancing!

 

April is here! So that means Spring has sprung... right?????

Lots of fun stuff happening at Hawkwood School this month, regardless of the weather.

April 3-12th - Read-a-thon! Reading is what? FUNDAMENTAL! 

*From The Child Mind Institute: Reading builds essential language, vocabulary, and literacy skills while strengthening cognitive development, empathy, and emotional regulation. It fosters a strong parent-child bond, improves concentration, and stimulates imagination. Daily reading prepares children for academic success by establishing routines, enhancing comprehension, and encouraging a lifelong love of learning.

Wowzee!

Our Read-a-thon puts some energy and motion behind reading for those that may not love it yet, and encourages those that already love to read, to track their accomplishments. For more info, prizes and pledge forms, click this link: Read-a-Thon info & forms

April 8th - Class Photo Day :)

April 10th - Dress as your favourite book character day!

Friends of Hawkwood School Society needs you!

What IS this society and why do they keep bothering me?!!

Friends of Hawkwood School Society is a separate, volunteer-run group that focuses on fundraising and financial support for the school.

The Society organizes fundraisers (like fun lunches, book sale donations, dances, casino, etc...) & then uses those for school enhancements such as resources, technology, experiences, and special projects that benefit students.

At the end of this year, some of our team is leaving and we need to replace them. If we cannot fill spots on Society, we cannot legally form a society. And if we cannot form a society we cannot fundraise. So no more dances, sports day, field trip subsidies, tech for classrooms, etc... 

NO SOCIETY = NO EXTRA $$ FOR HAWKWOOD SCHOOL

You don't need to have experience or have special skills. All that is required are team players who like to learn, laugh and make things happen together! We're looking for good folks with good vibes for the following positions:

Society Open Spots:

President

Vice President

Casino Team (2)

Fundraising Team (2)

Fun Lunch Team (2)

Join us at our next meeting May 5th, 6:30pm at the school library and shoot us an email at hawkwoodsociety@gmail.com.

Take care & Happy Spring? April!
