Good Evening Blackhawk Families! 

This has been an eventful week. Please check out the calendar for next week below! 

This Week’s Highlights

• Black & Blue Food Drive: It’s time for the Black and Blue Food Drive... Harwood's big competition against other schools to help feed families in our community! This isn’t just about school pride…it’s about making a difference. From now through October 3rd, bring in non-perishable food items or cash donations and turn them in to your second period class. Every can, every dollar counts toward helping those in need and showing that Blackhawks can rise to the challenge!

• Hat Day TOMORROW- Students can  pay $2  to wear a hat on tomorrow. Students must have a wristband. 

• News Story: Many of you may have seen the recent news story about the AED being used during the 7th grade football game to save a life. While it was certainly a frightening moment, we are incredibly proud of the quick actions of our athletic trainers, the composure of our students, and the leadership of our coaches. NEWS Story

• Sevie Social- Huge shout out to our AH-mazing PTA for a fun Sevie Social Dance. We had some great volunteers, a wonderful DJ, tons of food and drink donations... and a great time was had by all!

• Feedback- At the bottom of this page is a feedback form where I invite feedback from parents anytime! LINK
