Principal's Message
I am especially looking forward to our school dance tonight! It should be a fun evening for students, families, and staff to come together, enjoy some music, and celebrate the wonderful year we have had at Hiawatha. I hope to see many of you there.
As always, thank you for your continued support and for being such an important part of our school community.
Warmly,
Kolby Snellenberger
Principal
