Hawk Highlights October

Hello Hawk Families,

It’s hard to believe November is already here! The days may be getting shorter and the air a little cooler, but the energy inside HAMS remains strong. Our students continue to impress us with their hard work, curiosity, and kindness as we move deeper into the school year.

November gives us a chance to reflect, show gratitude, and celebrate the growth we’ve already seen in just a few months. From engaging classroom activities to extracurricular achievements, there’s a lot happening in our halls, and we’re proud of the way our Hawks continue to soar.

This month also brings meaningful opportunities to connect—with each other, with our community, and with the spirit of thankfulness this season inspires. As we head into the holidays, we’re grateful for your continued support and partnership in making HAMS a place where every student feels valued and encouraged to do their best.

Wishing you a wonderful November filled with warmth, growth, and gratitude.

High Flying Hawks

🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

We love celebrating students who are making positive choices each day. That’s what our High-Flying Hawks program is all about!

Students who maintain zero demerits are randomly selected to earn the title of “High-Flying Hawk.” As a reward, they’re invited to enjoy a pizza lunch with the assistant principal and go home with a bag full of goodies to recognize their hard work and dedication.

This program is our way of shining a spotlight on students who consistently show respect, responsibility, and kindness in and out of the classroom. We are so proud of our Hawks who set the bar high and inspire others to do the same!

Catherine Joy Padilla - 7th grade

Started with a collage of items to create a surreal image. They then used gridding to draw and color the image, while enlarging it to larger paper. The resulting image is twice the size of the original.
