Hello Hawkwood parents, caregivers and well-wishers,
What a turbulent October this has been. As we head into November, it’s a good time to pause and reflect on the important messages our teachers have shared this past month.
We know that public schools are chronically underfunded. While broader funding issues are outside our control, School Council and the Parent Society focus on what we can do — supporting our school community directly. Together we can make a real difference by supporting learning through fundraising.
And that’s where YOU come in.
-
Technology in classrooms — iPads, laptops, updated smartboards, and software
-
Flexible and supportive classroom furniture — wobble chairs, stationary bikes, and more
-
Learning tools for our EAL (English as an Additional Language) students
-
Subsidies for field trips (both in and out of school)
-
School residencies such as Fit Ninja and Alien In-Line Skating
-
Helping to fund the sensory room
Coming up on November 7th and 8th, we have one of our biggest fundraising opportunities — our casino event — and we still need volunteers!
If we can’t fill all the shifts, we risk losing out on approximately $80,000 for our school. This funding is crucial and directly benefits our kids.
The good news? Volunteering for the casino is one of the easiest ways to help. You don’t have to supervise children, and most roles are simply “on-call” positions.
As of October 30th, we still have 10 spots left to fill. Even one shift can make a huge difference for Hawkwood School.
We need your help. Volunteer shifts are still open, and our students will feel the impact if we can’t fill them.

Thank you to everyone who steps up — it truly matters.
In partnership & gratitude,
Hawkwood School Council & Friends of Hawkwood School Society
