Hawk of the Week

Mr. Chance Holzwart
This week, we are excited to recognize Mr. Chance Holzwart, our 7th & 8th-grade math teacher, as Hawk of the Week! Nominated by his peers, Mr. Holzwart is a true team player whose support extends far beyond his math classroom.

In addition to teaching math, Mr. Holzwart has provided invaluable support to the science garden, shared math notes with colleagues, and offered worksheets and informational texts to ELA teachers. He has also contributed to curriculum planning for our new tech elective, ensuring its success. His efforts this week have been instrumental in helping his colleagues feel prepared and confident in their teaching.

Moreover, Mr. Holzwart has graciously taken on the responsibility of running our school’s Good Job Ticket raffles, ensuring students are rewarded with exciting prizes. Thank you, Mr. Holzwart, for your generosity, collaboration, and unwavering dedication to our school community!
