The theme for National School Psychology Week is, Spark Discovery,” recognizing the work that school psychologists do to help their communities seek out new ideas, effect change, and expand horizons for children and youth. One of our school psychologists, Chasity Johnson, shares what sparks her to do this important work. “I am driven by a passion for helping others, embracing teamwork, and honoring every person’s unique worth. I believe that joy is found in the little moments, and each day is a chance to make a positive impact.” Thank you to all of our school psychologists, Chasity Johnson, Maria Gent, Annie Kuznik, and Anthony Wilborn, for supporting our students through your commitment to this important work.

🥎 HMS fastpitch played at home yesterday on what was a perfect fall evening with the sunlight streaming through the trees. The team had a convincing win against Cedar Heights but what the score doesn't show was the incredible teamwork amongst our players, the amazing support of family, friends and coaches, and the genuine sportsmanship and camaraderie that existed between the two teams. It was North Mason at its finest. Well done, Huskies! Seen in these photos are rising freshman being celebrated after playing their last ever middle school home game. Good luck to our future Bulldogs!

🎉TIME FOR A PARTY! 🎉 Students collected staff signatures throughout the month of September when they were recognized as being Prepared, Always Respectful, Working Hard or being Safe. At the end of the month they exchanged their PAWS cards for admission to the PAWS party! Activities students could choose from included drawing, Kahoot, gym sports, field sports, board games, movies and music. Feedback about the event was really positive, some students saying that they enjoyed spending time with friends doing a favorite activity, while others shared that they felt rewarded for completing their work. These PAWS parties will be held each month to acknowledge, and CELEBRATE, students who model these Hawkins' principles. Great job, Huskies! (Thank you to Laura Pugh for sharing these photos and information.)

Hawkins MS ended the week with their first spirit assembly of the year that more resembled the opening ceremonies at the Olympics. Students sat with their advisories, waving posters and cheering to celebrate the launch of their Olympic theme. The festivities began with a timed trivia challenge that had the volume in the room increasing after every answer. The year-long competition groups students by their advisories and is designed to increase participation, boost charity drives, and highlight other projects that will be rolled out over the course of the year. Let the games begin! #GoHuskies

Our Families Show Up! It was a great turnout at the annual Open House/Curriculum Night, where parents and guardians got an inside peek into what's happening at Hawkins Middle School. Families were greeted by Principal Kalahan and Assistant Principal Pattison who were excited to share an overview of the many extracurricular activities available to students. After a short introduction from the school counselors, families visited classrooms with their student, following a shortened version of their daily schedule. Teachers were able to share the curriculum and give parents and guardians a glimpse into their classrooms. North Mason School District Family Resources and other community partners were also available in the commons to answer questions about valuable resources and programs available to our students. Thank you to all our families and students who took the time to come out and participate, and share their ENTHUSIASM for the year ahead. It's going to be an amazing year, Huskies!

The Hawkins Middle School Science STEM Showcase was a huge success yesterday with a great turnout to see the unbelievable projects our students created. Months of studying, research, and preparation was involved in this endeavor and you could see how proud the students were to present their projects publicly to family and friends. The students' focus was as follows: 6th grade - Design and Modeling, an intro to Engineering. Water cycle, puzzle cubes 7th grade - Ecosystems, green energy and recycled art 8th grade - physics and Newton's Laws MLL students also presented their Dream Jobs project in the Library. This project had students explore careers they wanted to pursue and research the pathway to get to their goal. The boards were amazingly detailed and included road maps, educational requirements, along with salary expectations for the profession. Students shared their projects with their families and it was wonderful to see the pride in their stance when they presented their future career. Valerie and Gene Johnson and the HMS Science team sponsored the Free Hot Dog Dinner to all families who came. Thank you to everyone who made this evening possible and came out to support our students' exploration in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
