A special day unfolded at Hawkins Path Elementary School as 2nd grader Aliyah Baker stepped into the role of Principal for the Day, following her success in raising the most money for the PTA’s annual booster-thon fundraiser. With the help of her dedicated family and friends, Aliyah raised an impressive $1,820 to support the school’s programs and initiatives.
As Principal for the Day, Aliyah made her mark with a series of fun and exciting announcements, bringing joy to both students and staff. In a celebratory mood, she declared:
- No homework for the day, an announcement that brought cheers from students across the school.
- Front of the lunch line passes for the winning classes.
- Extra recess for Aliyah’s 2nd grade class.
Aliyah’s duties didn’t stop there. She made sure to patrol the hallways with her trusty walkie-talkie, embodying the role of principal with a sense of responsibility and excitement. In a special presentation, the Hawkins Path PTA unveiled a new sign for the bus lane, purchased with PTA funds and designed to improve student safety. The sign, which aims to deter drivers from entering the bus lane during arrival and dismissal, was made possible thanks to a stand built by dedicated parent and PTA executive board member, Chris DeMaio.
In large part thanks to the participants of the booster-thon, Hawkins Path Elementary School is able to continue supporting a variety of enrichment activities and programs for the students. The PTA looks forward to more successful fundraisers in the future!
