Our 4th graders had a wonderful time stepping back in history for Colonial Day! They mastered the steps of traditional dances, challenged their friends to classic games, and practiced their best penmanship by writing letters with quills and ink. It was incredible to see history come to life through their hard work and curiosity!

We wish our Hawk staff, students, and families a wonderful, relaxing, fulfilling holiday break and a happy new year! See you January 5, 2026! ❤️🎄☃️
