Fifth Graders - We need You to Help Design our Hawk Walk Logo!
Hawk Walk 2026 Theme: Be a Hero – Be You!
Get ready to soar—our 26th Annual Hawk Walk! Next year’s theme is all about celebrating the amazing hero inside YOU!
Our theme, “Be a Hero – Be You!”, reminds us that you don’t need a cape or superpowers to make a difference. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes—some show kindness, others stand up for friends, try their best, or spread smiles wherever they go. Every time you choose to be your best self, you’re being a real-life hero!
Now it’s your turn to get creative! We’re on the lookout for next year’s Hawk Walk Logo, and we want YOU to design it.
Think bold, and full of superhero spirit! Your design should show what it means to “Be a Hero – Be You.”
The winning logo will be featured on our Hawk Walk t-shirts, banners, and posters all around the school!
So grab your pencils (or your super stylus) and start designing! We can’t wait to see how you’ll bring our heroic theme to life.
Let’s make Hawk Walk 2026 the most SUPER one yet! Be Brave. Be Kind. Be YOU. Be a Hero!
Deadline to submit your design to the office: Friday, May 1st! Design Requirements:
● Must include the words “Hawk Walk 2026”, “Highland Elementary” and “Be a Hero- Be You”
● Must be Black and White (no color).
● Must be your own original artwork. AI may be used to get the idea, but you need to draw the design.
● Keep it simple and easy to read. Bold lettering is best.
● The logo and wording must be school-appropriate.
● The design must fit on an 8.5”x11” paper.
● Your name must be on the edge of the paper so we can give you credit.

The Highland City Library is Holding a Book Drive and Highland Elementary wants to help. The library will have boxes at our school for the next two weeks - April 20th to May 1st. Please consider donating any books that you no longer want to keep at your homes. The sale of books will benefit the city library and the many programs they run to support the community.

We encourage our students, faculty, staff and community to participate in "Purple Up Day" tomorrow by wearing Purple to school.
Governor Cox has included Utah in the April National Recognition of Military Children. April 15 is recognized as “Purple Up Day,” a day for all citizens across Utah to wear purple in visible support of military children, symbolizing the unity and combined strength of all branches of our Armed Forces, as purple represents the combination of the various service branch colors. You can learn more by reading this article: https://highland.alpineschools.org/o/highland/article/2801690
Highland is in the process of becoming a new Purple Star School. As a Purple Star school, we make a commitment to supporting military families and our students of military families. You can learn more about Alpine School District Purple Star Schools here: https://www.alpineschools.org/page/purple-star-schools/
Bring out your purple and "Purple Up" with us tomorrow.
The Teacher Treat Cart has been the most raved about addition to the PTA sponsored events at school. Teachers (and staff) so appreciate this little pick me up each month.
Welcome Back!
We hope you've had a great spring break full of family, friends, and fun. We are looking forward to a great week back as we begin the home stretch of the school year.
Some things to note:
Join us for the April PTA Meeting this Tuesday the 14th at 10AM.
Yearbooks are now on sale. They are $15 until the end of April.
The 2026-27 Class Placement Info form is now live. Check the link in your email.
We are excited to invite parents and children to our tenth annual Brain Fair on Saturday, April 11th, from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. in the Liberal Arts (LA) building hallway at Utah Valley University.
This event offers children of all ages the chance to explore the brain, neurons, and the senses through hands-on activity stations created by UVU undergraduate students under psychology faculty mentorship. It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to engage together in science learning and spark curiosity about the human brain.
Please see the attached flyer for additional details, and feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you so much for your help in sharing this with your school community.
Have a wonderful day.
Warmly,
Claudia Jorgensen
