Registration Day Fundraiser

PTO's one and done fundraiser to fund the year. 7th grade versus 8th grade to see who can collect the most donations. The grade that raises the most wins the Scoops and Hoops party.

Students must wear athletic shoes to be able to participate in open gym.

PBIS and Hawk Store

Admin will also award tickets to students showing School Spirit. Tickets are awarded to the student’s account in Focus and can be redeemed for drinks,treats from the Hawk Store or open Gym, and open Media Center.

You can help support the Hawk Store by sending in items from the PBIS Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/TG55HCD4SDFP/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex.

We are looking for volunteers to staff the Hawk Shop every Friday from 12-1.
