Parent Involvement:

PTH (Parents and teachers of Hawk Hollow)
One of the strengths of the school is the support the parents provide not only by volunteering in the school, but by raising funds to provide additional experiences.

The money raised by this group is used to support educational assistants, field trips, assemblies, and a donation to each teacher for classroom use.

They can be found reading or working with students in the classroom, leading after-school academies, or attending school activities. Their involvement brings a richness and vibrancy to the school.
