Hawk Talk - February 28, 2025

We have lots of great things coming up!

• Keep scrolling for more information, dates and special events.

A team from the Idaho National Laboratory visited Hawthorne on Wednesday and taught our students about the importance of recycling batteries and all sorts of other E-Waste. Our students were very excited to learn about it and to help! So, please look at the flyer below and start sending in your E-Waste!

We are partnering with the INL and E-Cyclers of Idaho to have E-Waste Recycling bins here at Hawthorne. Big categories of E-Waste are:

• batteries
• old cables
• broken electronics

We had an assembly today to start this year's HEART CHALLENGE! During the challenge, we will be encouraging our kids to be more active and participate in "HEART-HEALTHY" activities. Our students (and your family) can also sign up to learn the important, LIFE-SAVING skill of Hands-only CPR! See their note (below) for more info.

Hawks Families - please post a copy of the "HEART CHALLENGE HABIT TRACKER" on your fridge or in a special place, then encourage your students (and everyone in your house) to track their HEART HEALTHY HABITS!!! (use the link below to have a PDF copy).

Dear Families,

Kids Heart Challenge starts soon, and we are proud to support the American Heart Association through this service-learning program. Students will learn how to have happy and healthy hearts and brains, while raising lifesaving donations to help others with special hearts. Plus, your family can learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR through Finn’s Mission! Sign Up TODAY at http://www2.heart.org/goto/HawthorneElementaryIdahoFallsID or by downloading the FREE AHA Schools App for Apple or Android.

Students who sign up early will be recognized at our kick-off on 2/21/2025!

Meet heart survivor Finn and hear how completing Finn’s Mission gives hope to everyone, everywhere. Let’s save lives together! Thank you for being a Heart Hero!

Congratulations to all of our Hawks and Hawk Families who read "Charlotte's Web" together! We finished the book on 2/28!
