To Our Incredible Red Hawk Teachers… Thank You!
Every day, you do far more than teach, you help our students grow, soar, and believe in themselves. Within our Red Hawk nest, you create a safe and supportive place where every child feels valued, encouraged, and ready to spread their wings.
From early mornings to the extra time spent planning, guiding, and caring for each student, your dedication reaches far beyond the classroom. You are the heart of our nest, lifting our students higher and shaping their futures in meaningful ways.
We are so grateful for the passion, commitment, and love you pour into our school community each and every day.
Thank you for helping our Red Hawks soar—we appreciate you more than words can say!

There is something truly special about a room filled with people who simply show up, again and again, with generous hearts and willing hands.
Our recent Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast was a small way to say a very big thank you to the incredible individuals who pour so much into our community. From classroom volunteers, REACH Mentors, Reading Buddies, and all those behind the scenes moments, your impact is felt in ways that can't always be measured, but is always meaningful.
"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time, they just have the heart." - Elizabeth Andrew
We are deeply grateful for each of you. You are the reason we can do what we do, and do it well!

The Cardboard Challenge is in full swing! As you and your student "synergize" on your game design this week, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Make it Playable: Games can be easy or difficult, but they should be winnable!
Think Recycled: Look beyond just boxes—think bottle caps, string, or old paper towel rolls for game pieces and decorations.
Focus on Fun: The best part of this challenge is the time spent creating together. Games are due to the Malvern library by April 30. We can't wait to see your creations!
