Lucky To Have Hawley

To the Editor:

I send out a quick thank you to the Hawley PTA and faculty for last Friday’s Family Bingo Night.

With guest teacher callers, desserts baked by families, and cute Hawley school trivia questions posed for winning students, this was a very fun, original family night out.

Two splendid student singers entertained us all with their rendition of “BINGO,” and the PTA, led by President Melanie Scott, ended the evening by making sure each child was a (prize) winner. Our 7- and 3½-year-old daughters came home glowing.

With a large student body, it is rather amazing that the PTA, the teachers and Principal Peters continually manage to go the extra mile to make each child feel like an important member of the school community. A positive, caring atmosphere is always a priority at Hawley.

We are so lucky to have Hawley School here in Newtown.

Sincerely,

Jane Luongo
