Gizmos, gadgets, and G/T scholars-
oh my! 🤖💡

Our Gifted & Talented students had a blast supporting the SAISD Foundation at the Inspire Awards held at the Witte Museum! 🏛️✨

Our scholars took center stage to show off the cool tech and resources the SAISD Foundation brings into our classrooms. Students customized keychains on demand using a laser engraver, showcased their coding skills with Ozobot demonstrations, and guided attendees on tours of the SAISD book bus!

Huge thanks to the SAISD Foundation for inspiring our future innovators and giving our students the platform to shine. 🚀👏

Way to go, Ellie, Benjamin, and Alice! Your incredible representation at the event proves just how special our Hawthorne Academy family is. We couldn't be prouder! 🎉👏🌟

School may be out on Friday, but Hawthorne’s Gifted & Talented students are still hard at work making a hands-on impact! 🌿🪨

For this year’s G/T Day of Service, our dedicated students dedicated their time to two meaningful community projects. One group helped maintain and beautify the grounds at the Botanical Gardens. Another team visited the historic Eastside Cemetery, where they learned historical preservation techniques to carefully clean and restore aging headstones.

We are so proud of these young leaders for giving back and helping preserve our city's rich history. Way to go, Hawthorne Bears! Thank you for leaving a lasting mark on our community! 🐾❤️
