Dear Hawk Family,
Community. It's a word that is used often, but not many get to truly experience it. Community is not only the town or the neighborhood you live in, but it is the sense of security of knowing you are not alone in your pride and in your passion. Community can be most present in times of celebration and excitement. But Community is also one that stands tall in times of sorrow or, at times, stands up for the values and pride that makes up that Community. I see a strong sense of Community each day on our campuses. There is a growing sense of pride and excitement about each and every one of our individual campuses, but a stronger sense of commitment to be a Red Oak Hawk that exhibits the 4 Talons of a Graduate.
This Saturday we get to come together as a "Community" at our Hawktoberfest. It is during events like these that we need not miss how important it is for our students to see incredible examples of how a community comes together. I hope you all can bring your families and come out. Dena and I would love to see you. We love our Red Oak Community and learn more about it by meeting those who have a common interest in the success for all our kids. We stand up proudly to be Red Oak Hawks!
Go Hawks!
