June 24 was the big day for our Hawthorne “Wildcubs” as Principal Anne Stern lovingly called her students. She opened the ceremony with the Pledge of Allegiance and Star-Spangled Banner before introducing Superintendent Dr. G.

We had so much fun at the Hawthorne Meet & Greet for families and new Principal Anthony Carolini in the courtyard this evening. Huge thank you to the Elementary PTA, this year’s co-presidents Denise Lembo and Rae Riccobono and the incoming leadership team of Dana Schrank and Marcela Provenzano, for making it an extra special event for current and future Hawthorne Wildcats!

Mr. Anthony Carolini be appointed as the next Principal of Hawthorne Elementary, effective July 2, 2025. Mr. Carolini will succeed Anne Stern, who is retiring after a distinguished 31-year career in elementary education, including 11 years of dedicated service to Mount Pleasant.

Three cheers for Deb Kurlander, Jennifer Baltich, and Ricky Guido who coordinated Hawthorne’s 4th Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive.

Math with a twist - Pajamas!

For Enrichment, students in Kristin Biagiotti and Madison Fennell’s class created a collaborative banner for Veterans Day. Well done, Wildcats! It’s beautiful!
