Field Trips
Field Trips
This annual spring carnival has been known to feature inflatables, crafts, face painting, laser tag, nerf wars, cake walk, and the dunk tank. We think it is the perfect way to close out the year and say thank you to our school community for their generosity and continued support of PTSA! Stay tuned for details about Hawk Fest 2026!

"I Belong"...That’s the theme for the 2025-2026 Reflections Art Program, which has been bringing the arts to life for more than 10 million students since 1969. California State PTA and its members, families and kids are on the forefront of this amazing program, which increases community awareness of the importance of arts in education.

We are so excited to have dads and father figures on campus as part of the Dads of Great Students WATCH D.O.G.S.® program! WATCH D.O.G.S. provides positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. Meanwhile, we provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security, reduce bullying, and provide a greater sense of campus safety.
