We are so excited for Field Day tomorrow, Friday, September 26, as part of our Kentucky Kids’ Day celebration! Thank you to our amazing PTA and volunteers for helping us make this day special for our students. A few reminders to help your child be prepared: • Dress for the weather and wear comfortable clothes & tennis shoes. • Send a water bottle, hat, and sunscreen/bug spray (please apply at home before school—staff cannot apply these). • With the recent rain, the playground and lawn may be muddy—please plan shoes and clothes accordingly. We look forward to a fun day of celebrating our kids and all the joy they bring to Hawthorne! Estamos muy emocionados por nuestro Día de Campo mañana, viernes 26 de septiembre, como parte de nuestra celebración del Día de los Niños de Kentucky. ¡Gracias a nuestra increíble PTA y a todos los voluntarios por ayudarnos a hacer de este día algo especial para nuestros estudiantes! Algunos recordatorios para que su estudiante esté preparado: • Vístalo según el clima con ropa cómoda y tenis. • Envíe una botella de agua, sombrero y protector solar/repelente de insectos (por favor aplíquelos en casa antes de la escuela; el personal no puede aplicarlos). • Con la lluvia reciente, el patio de recreo y el césped pueden estar lodosos—por favor prepárese con zapatos y ropa adecuados. ¡Esperamos un día divertido celebrando a nuestros niños y toda la alegría que traen a Hawthorne!
