Each month one student from each classroom is nominated as a High Flying Hawk. This award goes to a student who has consistently demonstrated the character trait for that month. They receive a special reception during school hours where they are presented a certificate, pencil and snack. Their names are displayed in the front hall and their names are called each month during our PTA meeting!
