Why the Huskies?

     This is the first year that we are the Huskies at Hiawatha.   We officially changed our mascot at the May Board meeting last spring.  A group of our Accelerated Learning students were participating in OAV (Our American Voice) and were trying to complete a civic minded service learning project.  They decided to have a school wide vote on a new mascot for the following reasons:

     The possible candidates were the Firehawks, Huskies, Buffalo, Phoenix, and Wolves.  After the school wide vote, the Huskies were the winner!  Here are the videos for all the candidates:

     Once the vote was final and the Hiawatha Huskies were created, the OAV students had a contest to design a new image for our mascot.  Here are pictures of the students at the May Board meeting proposing the mascot change to the South Berwyn Board of Education.

     Thank you, Danny, Naomi, Rebecca, Silas, Steve, Juan, Alice, Angela, Angel, Jose, Sebastian, Ivan, Juan and Martha for your part in creating a new path for Hiawatha.  A big Husky High Five to Ms. Sabri for leading the team.
