These students enjoyed their time together as they prepared for the parade.
Today's annual parade was a resounding success. Despite the wind, the students showcased their amazing and creative costumes with enthusiasm. We will be sharing some pictures from the event soon, but until then, here's wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Halloween!

With determination and effort, this student crafted a delicious pesto sauce using fresh basil from Hawkswood School's garden during his occupational therapy session. His hard work truly showcased the growth of his kitchen skills!
Farmtastic Day!
This class had a fantastic time on a seasonal trip to a local farm! The students loved picking pumpkins and apples, and they were excited to use the apples to make delicious homemade applesauce. It was a wonderful autumn day filled with learning and fun in our community!
Did someone say, "CHEESE"?
Students collaborated on a cooking lesson to create a delicious charcuterie board. They enjoyed the activity and every tasty bite that followed!
Students at work:
Our students genuinely enjoy their "in-house jobs," and it's fulfilling to witness how these roles help them develop essential skills. They assist in preparing various foods for our salad bar, make pesto using basil from our school garden, and help with cleanup. These skills support their development into adulthood.
Students in Class 129 participated in Community-Based Instruction (CBI) at Target. The students worked on generalizing functional and academic skills in a community setting. Everyone had a fun shopping experience while developing important life skills!
Hawkswood School Participates in Brookdale Job Fair!
Supporting our community and educational institution, Hawkswood School administrators attend Brookdale College's Job Fair! The job fair attendees were very enthusiastic about learning more about Hawkswood School, our philosophy, and the opportunities it offers.
Students enthusiastically worked with speech therapists to create delicious apple donuts! They truly delighted in this fun seasonal treat they crafted together—what a tasty way to learn!
It is that time of year again! You are cordially invited to our Back-to-School Night.
We encourage you to join us on Thursday, September 18th from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM in our West building’s Multipurpose Room.
Looking forward to seeing you!
FIGS ALL AROUND!
Our students picked figs from their tree and made delicious fig turnovers! There is nothing more satisfying than growing your own fruits and vegetables and transforming them into something tasty to enjoy and share with friends. They were truly delicious!
Action Art Summer!
Our students had an incredible time learning about the artist Jackson Pollock and exploring action art. Throughout the summer, they used various tools in the art room, including spin art, mark spin tops, a Lazy Susan, and a salad spinner. Our exploration culminated last week when all students participated in throwing paint onto a canvas using a variety of tools on our patio. Together, we created two collaborative pieces of artwork. What a fun way to conclude our unit on Jackson Pollock!
Harvesting potential, cultivating success! In this vibrant classroom, students embarked on an exciting journey as they cultivated green beans, fragrant basil, and juicy tomatoes from tiny seeds. After weeks of nurturing their plants, the students proudly harvested their fresh produce. With a sense of accomplishment, they transformed their homegrown ingredients into a delightful, healthy salad, bursting with flavor and color. This hands-on experience not only nourished their bodies but also sparked a passion for gardening and healthy eating!
