Dear 8th Grade Parents,
Graduation for Hawkins Huskies 8th Grade Class of 2014 is rapidly approaching. In fact
graduation is only 75 school days away and will be held May 29, 2014.
The parent graduation committee, in conjunction with the Hawkins Staff is planning and
preparing for the upcoming 2014 Graduation activities. We would like our sons/daughters
final year at Hawkins to be a memorable one. We are mindful of the difficult economic times
that are upon us and are attempting to minimize the expenses for these activities.
By starting the planning process early, we are hoping to give each of us enough time to plan
for the shared financial responsibility that will be asked of every family. The amount will be
$70.00 per student. Donation due date Wednesday, February 12, 2014. The donations
already received have been greatly appreciated.
This amount will cover the following expenses:
Great America trip including transportation (ACE train) and lunch
Ice Cream Social: ice cream sundaes/floats and decorations
Honors Night: decorations and programs
Graduation ceremony: gowns, programs and decorations
Graduation dance: decorations/entertainment and refreshments
For those that have signed up to assist with the various graduation activities, we will be reach-
ing out to you in late February with meeting dates and times. For those that did not sign up but
would like to help, it is not too late! Please contact any of the persons listed below to volun-
teer.
Your participation, input and all donations already received are greatly appreciated.
