The Hillcrest High School Hawks program, (which stands for Have hope, Act with integrity, Work together, Keep on task, Show respect) created a “Thankful” tree for the upcoming Thanksgiving season.  All students and staff involved in “HAWKS” traced their hand and inscribed something significant for which they are thankful for.

“The hands represent the leaves that hold our HAWKS family together as well as a reminder of what we are individually thankful for in our lives,” said Mrs. Safarik, Hawks Teacher.

The students see their individuality as well as their part of the larger group dynamic.

The display will remain up for the month and anyone who visits the HAWKS room is welcome to add their own “Hand of Thanks” to our tree.
