        Most Seahawks are happy with a new class this year, HawkTime.
    HawkTime is a time for students to do homework, make up work, or get extra help from a teacher or student.  Students especially like HawkTime because it gives them more free time at home by finishing their work at school.
    “I like HawkTime because I can do all of my math homework so I don’t have to do it at home,” said eighth grader Tyler Johnson.
    Hawk Time is about 45 minutes long. Students work for 30 minutes of that time and go outside for physical activity for the other 15 minutes.  Students are allowed to do pretty much any work they have for any of their classes and may be allowed go to another teacher’s classroom for help.
    “I like Hawk Time because it gives me a chance to get help from other teachers and students without having to stay after school or come early,” said eighth grader Alli Spawr.
    Hawk Time allows students to do outside of school activities like meetings for National Junior Honor Society, Math Club, or the algebra competition during regular school hours. Students can also work on makeup work or get extra help during Hawk Time without coming to school early or staying late.  
    “If I could make a change to Hawk Time, I would not have a reading day,” said eighth grader Sabrina Ramirez.
    Reading day is on Tuesday and no one is allowed to do anything but read. Most students don’t like reading day because it takes away time they could be doing homework.  Also many kids think that reading day is boring.
    “I love Hawk Time, it gives me a chance to do any work I need to do,” said eighth grader Ciara Early.
