25-26 PTSA Programs, Activities, & Events (select to expand)

100 Mile Running Club (year round)

The PTSA organizes this fun program every year, where 1st-5th grade students run in the morning before school out on the blacktop by the playground with the goal of trying to run 100 miles over the course of the year. The program usually runs a few days a week before school (typically between 8-8:20am) from October to May. Specific sign-up requests will go out sometime after school starts.

Running club depends on weekly, committed volunteers who will sign up for a day a week. Interested in volunteering? Email Kelly Soemantoro at Ksoemantoro@gmail.com.

Yearbook

The PTSA puts together the yearbook each year, which is a huge undertaking, and we can use your help to share photos of school events activities.

To share photos or ask questions about the yearbook, reach out to chairs Kimmy Greer and Michelle Haller at hawesyearbook@gmail.com.

School Garden (year round)

The PTSA provides supplies, plants, and support to maintain the Hawes' garden.

The garden is a great way for students to learn about the benefits of gardening, not only for the environment, but also for mental health.
