Farmdale’s Baile Folklorico program is something that parents have been asking for through our needs assessment. It attracted 47 students in its first year and inspired new parents to get involved - to donate items, to fundraise and to support by participating in this parade. It has truly been a Community School effort.
The Hawkins HS Linked Learning pathways were established by getting input from the community.
Hawkins students and volunteers bagged and gave away over 700 pounds of food this school year.
Hawkins HS is the school used in the CW show, All American.
