Hawks Sports Update

The weather played havoc on the girl's soccer schedule and they had to end the season prematurely.  They were slated to play in a 4 team final to determine the winner of the school season but snow and ice and wind and grey days in general shut it all down.  If improvement, hard work, sportsmanship, and fun are measures of success then the Hawk's girl's soccer team had a very successful season. Thanks to the coaches for volunteering their time and fielding such an exciting side.


Further sports news has been forwarded by Ms. Stiles and Ms. Taylor who compiled the following for the blog:
