We offer our students many opportunities to participate outside the classroom. We have a very strong instrumental music program and a developing choral program. Athletic opportunities in the form of field hockey, cross-country, basketball, track and field, and intermurals are open to all students in good academic or behavioral standing. In addition, the school promotes community involvement through small group, team, or whole school service initiatives. Hawthorne Brook is also available for community use after school hours.
Preference is given to activities that involve our youth.
Hawthorne Brook espouses learning beyond the walls of the classroom and we promote a variety of field trips and other learning activities in the community. Our eighth grade participated in Re-enactment activities sponsored by the Townsend Historical Society on Townsend Common. Every member of the sixth grade had a chance to be involved in a weeklong trip to The Environmental School in Maine. Seventh graders journeyed to Lowell to take advantage of The River as a Classroom program sponsored by the University of Lowell. In addition to these trips, several in-school assemblies were arranged through the efforts of Mrs. Mary Foster.
