Thank you for helping make Hawkapalooza 6

rock! We had over 350 music lovers in at-

tendance for this terrific community building

event. I’d like to especially thank Mr. Bal-

lard, Ms. deWood, and Mr. Andrews for coor-

dinating the evening. A special shout out goes

to the Sarsfield family for

donating all of the food

and HPFC members for

working the concession

stand. All proceeds earned goes back to our

science program. The musical acts this year

were phenomenal.

Black Lightning and the

Thunderbolts featuring

the Raindrops were fan-

tastic! The kids loved

getting Black Lightning’s autograph after the

show.

This week, we begin our graduation season.

Tuesday night is Honors Night. Wednesday,

the 8th graders will go to Great America and

Friday is the Ice Cream Social. The gradu-

ates are preparing their final portfolio projects and will present

them at a Colloquium on May 24th.

This year, Hawkins will be hosting the district’s summer school

program and the Great Valley Writing Project’s Writing Camp.

These are both excellent opportunities for students to continue their

learning over the summer break. All students can benefit from en-

riching activities over the summer, like visiting museums or library

book clubs. Please keep that in mind as you plan your summer.
