What's the Kindergarten Aide Fund? To keep the adult-to-student ratio low for our youngest learners, Hawthorne is committed to funding a robust K staffing model that includes two K teachers, two aides and a K support staffer. We rely on our Kindergarten community to raise $25K to help offset costs to keep these vital positions.
