HCES was bursting with color and excitement as students celebrated Kettle Day! Each student was sorted into one of our school’s special houses, called kettles , with each kettle representing an important character trait we value at HCES. The excitement really took off as students ran through a glowing tunnel that lit up in their new kettle color! After discovering their kettle, students received a special certificate and a kettle pin to proudly show their new school family. Students are encouraged to wear their pins every Wednesday as we celebrate Kettle Day and the amazing qualities that make our Hawks shine. We can’t wait to see our hawks build friendships, show school spirit, and put their character traits into action all year long!
