At Hardwick Elementary School we emphasize the importance of building and growing community. Special Events each year include a Pumpkin Carving Installation for the Hazen Trails Pumpkin Walk; River of Light, where our young artists' hand-built luminaries are displayed at the Winter Concert and carried in the River of Light Parade in downtown Hardwick; Winter and Spring Pottery Shows; Art Club for 5th and 6th graders as an alternative recess elective; and Art Exhibitions for Youth Art Month statewide and locally.
