May we never forget what happened on September 11th, 19 years ago. May we always be thankful for what we have and the freedoms our military fights for every day. #thankyouforourfreedom #neverforget 🇺🇸
Just a reminder that mid-terms will be sent home tomorrow (9/11/20). We will also be including a fundraiser packet, newsletter, and statement of any remaining student fees. Please ask your students about these documents when they get home tomorrow evening.
Good luck tonight Hawks against Wes Del!
Don't forget that tonight at 6pm Learn More Indiana is hosting a live virtual Facebook event walking you through the enrollment process for #21stCenturyScholars!
#DYK that if your 7th-8th grader qualifies for free and reduced lunch that they likely qualify for the Scholars program?
A college degree is more important than ever, and the Scholars program covers the cost of up to 4 years of college tuition!
All 8th grade students received an application during Careers class last week, and completed forms can be returned to Mrs. Wright in the Driver office at any time.

Our Hawk Cross Country runners had a great night! Both the boys and girls teams were victorious! Great job Hawks!
It only takes one person to make a difference in someone’s life.
September is suicide awareness month, so we would like to share some statistics with you about this very real concern in today's society. Did you know that 1 in 5 Indiana high school students seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year? Indiana ranks 3rd out of 36 states in the percentage of high school students who seriously considered attempting suicide. This is not just a high school and older issue, many younger students struggle with suicidal thoughts as well.
Mrs. Wright is always available in the counseling office if a student needs to talk, or if they have a friend that they are concerned about. Please say something if you have concerns, you can be the one to make a difference in someone’s life.
If students prefer to talk to someone anonymously they can check out the Suicide Prevention Lifeline or the Crisis Text Line both of which are available 24/7.

We have a great night for some football. Good luck Hawks!
The Lady Hawks took on Muncie Northside last night at the field house. The 7th grade fought hard but fell short in the third set. The 8th grade came out on top for their first win of the season! The girls will be back in action tomorrow night against Hagerstown. #GoHawks 🏐
The Hawks #CrossCountry teams took on Monroe Central in their first meet of the season tonight! Way to work hard everyone! #GoHawks 👟

The 8th grade Washington DC trip for this fall has been officially postponed until the spring. We are currently working with the tour company to find an alternate date for the spring. As soon as we know that date, we will let families know. We really want our students to have this experience so we will continue to work to make this happen at a time that we feel is safe for students to travel. Thank you for your patience and flexibility.
Good Evening Randolph Central Parents!
