Hawthorne 5th Grade Students wrapped up an exciting adventure with the Volume City Project! They designed their own buildings and put their math skills to work by calculating volume using the formula: Volume = length × width × height.
It’s amazing to see creativity and math come together as students built their cities block by block. Great job, future architects and mathematicians!

Early Childhood — “Where caring hearts grow and great friendships begin.”
This little one showed such a big heart! 💖 She noticed her friend was feeling sad and went over to comfort her with kindness and care. Moments like these remind us that even the smallest friends can show the biggest compassion.
