🍬🦅 Important Candy Bar Mania Update 🦅🍬

Good afternoon, Hawks Families!

Due to the recent storm, the delivery of our large candy prizes has been delayed. We have been notified that the earliest expected delivery is now Sunday.

Because of this, Candy Bar Mania will be moved to Friday, March 6th.

We worked directly with both companies to see if there was any way to guarantee delivery for this Friday; however, neither could confirm that the prizes would arrive in time. Since our students look forward to the BIG candy prizes, we feel it is best to wait so the event can be everything they’re excited for!

📌 Updated Information:
• Ticket orders and candy donations will now be accepted through Tuesday, March 3rd.
• All tickets already purchased will be honored on March 6th.
• If you purchased tickets and are unable to attend on the new date, please email for a refund.

The updated flyer with full event details is attached.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We can’t wait for a sweet and fun-filled evening together! 🍫💙

❄️ Two-Hour Delay Reminder & Family Support ❄️

Good morning, Hopewell Crest families.

While today’s two-hour delay helps improve safety given icy road conditions, there is a real possibility that your student’s bus may run later than anticipated. Road conditions can vary greatly throughout the township, and these unpredictable conditions may impact arrival times.

We wish circumstances were different, but winter weather presents real challenges, and safety must come first. Our transportation team is moving carefully to navigate conditions as safely as possible.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and partnership as we work together to keep our students and staff safe. We truly appreciate your support.

💙🦅 Hopewell Crest Hawks SOAR — even on winter mornings.
