Welcome aboard Hawk Air, where the destination is not just a place but an exciting experience that will take you on a thrilling journey of learning, innovation, and exploration. Hawk Air is Hygiene Elementary’s annual capstone project, which is student-driven, teacher-facilitated, and parent-propelled.

This high-flying adventure combines STEAM learning with a design challenge to explore the culture of the chosen destination, the United Kingdom. Kindergarten and first grade students are tackling how to protect the country’s declining hedgehog habitat from destruction while students in second through fifth grades are addressing how to slow the effects of coastal erosion and protect structures in the UK. Not only will students develop innovative and creative solutions, but they will learn collaborative strategies to effectively communicate and solve problems for the betterment of the world.

Hawk Air culminates with a public open house at Hygiene Elementary on Thursday, May 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. We invite you to join us on this year’s journey to the United Kingdom to explore the bustling cities of London and Scotland and immerse yourself in the architecture, art, food, music (live bagpipes), and more. 

For the past 13 years, Hawk Air has made a significant impact on the community, bringing everyone together in a unique and meaningful way. Fasten your seatbelt and get ready to soar to new heights with Hawk Air!
