Carl Hankey International Education Foundation

Today we wrapped up our Hawk Trot fundraiser with an unforgettable SLIME Day celebration. Thank you to Principal Migge, Vice Principal Adams, Ms. Cantacessi, Ms. Keehn, Ms. Peterson, Ms. Baldwin, and Ms. Lohmeier for getting slimed for IB. Students and parents filled the blacktop with cheers, laughter, and applause as our amazing staff bravely took their turn getting slimed.

A heartfelt thank you to all Hankey families, friends, and our supportive local community for making this year’s Hawk Trot a tremendous success. Together, you helped raise over $35,000 to support our IB programs, including Elementary Spanish, Middle School Design, and other IB-related initiatives.

Slime Day is THIS FRIDAY, December 12! Give the gift of slime and help your class reach its $2,000 goal. Last chance to support Hankey this holiday season.

Thank You to all Hankey families, friends, and the local community for making our Hawk Trot fundraiser a success. You’ve pledged $30,000+ for IB programs to pay for Elementary Spanish, Middle School Design, and IB related expenses. We are accepting donations though Slime Day (Dec 12th) at https://carlhankey.pledgestar.com and checks can be turned in at the office. 

Many classrooms are close to reaching their classroom goals ($2000) to qualified teachers for getting slimed. Hankey families and friends are welcome to attend the slime day on Friday December 12th. During the morning blacktop ceremony, top earners will slime Principal Migge. Classroom teachers that have reached their fundraising goals and have elected to be slimed, will be slimed by the top fundraiser in their class. More details to follow.

We deeply appreciate your continued support for Carl Hankey and the valuable IB education we strive to provide.
