Carl Hankey International Education Foundation

A huge thank you to our Hankey families, friends and business donors! Hawk Trot 2017 was a huge success – your hard work has helped raise over $18,000 for Hankey’s IB program!

Classroom Reward Winners!

Middle School SOAR – Mr. Paterno’s SOAR class was our top fundraising classroom, raising CHIEF $1,422!  Students received a pancake breakfast hosted by CHIEF and Mrs. Aguilera!

Elementary Classroom – Miss Cantacessi’s 1st grade class was our top-earning elementary classroom, raising $1,990. Miss Cantacess’s class will enjoy a movie & popcorn at lunchtime before the Winter Break.

* Mrs Peterson’s 1st grade class came so close to Miss Cantacessi’s class, that CHIEF has decided to include Mrs Peterson’s class in the lunchtime fun as well!

Road Runner Sports is offering all Hankey students a 10% discount on all footwear (20% if you’re a VIP) along with a FREE 1-on-1 Shoe Dog Foot Analysis. Earn $$ for Hankey and get great pair new kicks! Make sure to bring the FLYER with you on WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8 to get your discount!

Get your running shoes ready, because Hankey’s 7^th Annual Hawk Trot jog-a-thon FUNdraiser to support our International Baccalaureate (IB) program will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 15!

CUSD provides support for Hankey’s IB program through staffing and professional development, but the additional costs – exceeding $90,000 a year – are self-funded by our school community. So we’re running to raise money for programs such as IB teacher training/planning time, elementary Spanish, Art Masters (K-8), YMCA PE and IB program fees; as well as classroom supplies & resources.

Students will be bringing home a packet TODAY with details about how to collect funds to support the IB program. But you can help them get started now by sending family and friends an email from our PledgeStar online fundraising page! Here’s how:
