The Hendricks School Board met for its monthly meeting in the Distance Learning Center at the school last week. The board learned that the school building has recently had issues with a leaky roof. Excessive snowfall has contributed to the problem. Hendricks Superintendent Bruce Houck said the problem is not unique to the district.
“We had some massive leaks, but since it freezes at night now, it has been good,” Houck reported. “We still have a few drips but nothing major. I think just about everybody who has a flat roof had issues…

Filed under School, Sports |HAWKS program focuses on positive characteristics
HPS started the HAWKS program shortly after Christmas break. Each letter in HAWKS stands for a characteristic we want students to demonstrate—Honesty, Attitude, Wise choices, Kindness, and Self control. Every morning, elementary students meet in the gym and a teacher gives a small talk or tells a story from their own life about the word we are focusing on for that week. We have finished up the HAWKS words and last week chose to focus on integrity. This week we are working on responsibility. During each week, teachers are on the lookout for students showing the characteristic we are focusing on. Teachers can then award those students with a small paper wing. This wing goes into a bucket and on Friday we draw a student from each grade. At the end of each month we have a big drawing for a prize with all the names of students who earned a certificate that month. Students pictured above, left to right, are Kadence Cahow, Carli Fuller, Blake Coners, Giovanni Pozzi, Colsen Texley, Gracie Vos and Kinsley Beer.
