Our candy monsters are HUNGRY, and they need your help! 

HSE PTA is collecting individually wrapped candy for our Spooktacular Carnival on October 16th from 5:30–8 PM. With hundreds of kids joining us each year, every bag of candy helps us make the night extra sweet!

Simply drop your candy donations right into one of our monster boxes:

• 🍬 Bueche’s — just inside the entrance

• 🍬 Harvey-Swanson Elementary — by the security desk in the entrance

Help us FEED THE MONSTERS and get ready for a Spooktacular night!

Thank you for supporting HSE PTA!

Help Us Reward Our Outstanding Hawks!

At HSE, students have the opportunity to earn Hawk Bucks by being outstanding Hawks! Whether they go above and beyond, help others without being asked, show kindness, demonstarte good citizenship or simply make a positive choice, their hard work can earn them Hawk Bucks to be used at the Hawk Store. 

Once a month, our Hawk Cart will travel around the school, giving students the opportunity to spend their hard-earned Hawk Bucks on fun rewards!

Our first Hawk Store days are October 27th & 29th!

We Need Your Help!

With 560 students at HSE, every student has the opportunity to shop for up to 2 items each month. That means we need approximately 1,120 donated items every month to make sure every student has the opportunity to participate!

We are looking for donations of fun, kid-friendly items such as:

• Squishies & fidgets
• 3D-printed animals and figures
• Candy & snacks
• Stuffies
• LEGO sets or pieces
• Football gloves & sports balls
• Small toys, games & prizes
• Stickers, pencils & fun school supplies
• Other kid-friendly rewards

💙 Every donation makes a difference! Whether you donate one item, a handful of items, or enough to fill a cart, you are helping us recognize and reward our students for being Outstanding Hawks!

 Want to donate? Donations can be dropped off to the main office for the Hawk Store.

Thank you for helping us create a fun way to celebrate our students and encourage positive choices throughout the school year!💙
