Crazy Hat Roller Skating Party at Skate City
April 27th 6:00-8:00 PM
Sioux Falls Skyforce players #7-Mychal Mulder and #11-Justin Champagnie visited Hawthorne Elementary classroom 302 on March 23rd. Just a few questions asked by students were:
How tall are you, how hard was it to get into basketball, what made you want to join Skyforce, what is it like being a basketball player...
Mychal and Justin talked to the kids about changing bad choices into good choices and to always try and set goals. They said they dedicate a lot of time and effort into being the best they can be every day..
Hawthorne still has FREE SkyForce tickets available in the office
** LIMIT 5 TICKETS**

The Sioux Falls School District is excited to partner with Siouxland Libraries again for Everybody Reads! From March 13-31, students, staff, parents, and community members are encouraged to track how many books they read. The goal is to create a community of readers ages 0 –100! Starting March 13, you will see a galaxy begin to appear in the library. For the next three weeks, student art and yellow stars will appear to celebrate reading progress. Once your student(s) completes a book, they will receive a star to add to the galaxy. We look forward to a bright galaxy of student success!
Wondering how you can get involved as a parent? Encourage your student to read at home! As mentioned, this is a community-wide reading initiative. Anytime YOU finish a book throughout the month of March, we would encourage you to stop by your local library to add your own star to the growing galaxy and record your progress at www.sf.k12.sd.us/page/everybody-reads
Thank you for your support and let’s get reading!
