Tom Hawkins’

Jump Rope

for Heart

APRIL 1st

Time: 1:20-1:50pm

This will also be

EXTREME BLUE DAY

Parents are welcome to attend!

Come join in on the fun!

This Wednesday in

honor of our Jump

Rope for Heart

Event we will be

showing our Spirit

by wearing

EXTREME BLUE.

Tuesday, we celebrate the birth and legacy of American civil rights activ-

ist Cesar Chavez. Chavez helped organize and lead successful boycotts

and was a champion of nonviolent protest. Chavez

was a firm believer in education and

self-determination. He was quoted

as saying, “Students should have

initiative; not just be imitators.

They must learn to think and act for

themselves—and be free.”

Speaking of initiative and free thinking, this weekend,

Hawkins sent its 4th-6th grade Science Olympiad team

to McNair High School in Stockton.

Our team did an amazing job and received many awards

in the events in which they participated! Definitely not

imitators, our Hawkins students were imaginative, crea-

tive and resourceful in their various events!

This week, our campus will be joining together for an

exciting event called Jump Rope for Heart. Students are

encouraged to wear EXTREME blue for the day. I hope

everybody participates in the fun cause and meets our

school goals. In the inspiring words of Cesar Chavez - Si, se puede - Yes,

it can be done!
