We have to give the BIGGEST shoutout to our AMAZING PTSA — you all are incredible and ALWAYS there to help us out! From stocking the store, to running the counter, to making sure our students feel celebrated, you make this place so special.

Our Hawks love shopping with their Hawk Bucks and it's all because of YOU!

Three women smiling behind the counter of a school store. Above them hangs a large white banner that reads Hawks Hawk Store - Come and spend those Hawk Bucks! with illustrations of gold coins with dollar signs. On the counter in front of them are many small baskets and bins filled with colorful small prizes and school supplies, each labeled with prices like $1, $2, and 2 for $1. The store is set in a small room with white brick walls and shelves with supplies in the background.
