We know that this October brings turmoil & uncertainty for a lot of families. We, along with you, hope for a resolution
to the upcoming strike that will benefit our children, teachers & public schools.
Please note, that starting October 6th there will be NO SCHOOL. For the most up-to-date information about the strike action from CBE please visit: CBE labour action news
For those of you who have already ordered the October Fun Lunch, you can visit healthyhunger and cancel your order. It will be saved as credit toward any future orders.
October activities, such as field trips and the Halloween dance will be cancelled.
Once school does start up again, kids will need more supports than ever. Part
of what Friends of Hawkwood School Society does is raise money to support
students by:
-The Sensory Room
-Artists in residence programs (dance, drama, art, etc.)
-Updated computers and tablets for classrooms
-Buses for fields trips & field trip subsidies
-Books and library resources
-Specialty physical education programs
-Sports Day
-Musical instruments
- Supplying additional learning tools to those new to English
-School furniture
-We also aim to foster community
within the school by hosting dances, movie nights, parent education nights, etc...
In order to do this, our BIGGEST
FUNDRAISER, the casino, is taking place November 7
& 8th, and positions need to be fully staffed by volunteers.
In the past, the casino fundraisers have brought between $60,000- $80,000 to Hawkwood school to supply the above mentioned supports!
The Casino fundraiser will happen regardless of a strike and we
These funds are integral for us
to make Hawkwood School a place with opportunities & activities that
benefit every child. As of Oct 2nd, we have 13 spots that
still need to be filled and we need your help to fill them.
