Crafting for Kindness

We are absolutely thrilled to have launched our Crafting for Kindness club! This inspiring group meets twice a week, pairing our Grade 6 members with leadership from our Grade 8 students. For our first project, we are handcrafting beautiful felt scarves that we will be proudly donating to Halton Women's Place. Through this work, we are helping bring the Halton Board’s focus on Kindness, Connection, and Community to our school. 

Reminder We are a Nut Free School

Many students at Hawthorne Village have allergies to peanuts and other nut products. It is very important that families carefully check product labels when packing lunches and avoid sending any items that contain peanuts or nuts. This includes products such as Nutella, Wow Butter and peanut butter.  Hawthorne Village is a nut free school.
