🏡 It takes all of us to help keep Hawthorne safe. / Juntos podemos mantener segura a nuestra comunidad de Hawthorne.

Over the past several weeks, we've experienced a few incidents on Hawthorne property, including vandalism and individuals loitering after hours. Hawthorne has a No Trespass Agreement in place with IMPD, which means officers can enforce the order when suspicious activity is reported.

👀 If you see something that doesn't seem right, please don't assume someone else has already called. Your call could make all the difference.

The flyer below is a helpful guide to knowing who to call based on the situation:
📞 911 – Emergencies or crimes in progress
📞 311 – Non-emergency police reports or suspicious activity with no immediate threat
📞 211 – Community resources and social services
📞 988 – Mental health or substance use crisis support
📞 511 – Traffic, road conditions, and weather alerts

By staying aware, reporting concerns, and looking out for one another, we can help protect Hawthorne and keep it a safe, welcoming place for everyone.

💙 See something. Say something. Together, we can make a difference.

🏡 Todos tenemos un papel importante para mantener segura a la comunidad de Hawthorne.

Durante las últimas semanas, hemos tenido algunos incidentes en la propiedad de Hawthorne, incluyendo vandalismo y personas permaneciendo en el lugar después del horario permitido. Hawthorne cuenta con un Acuerdo de Prohibición de Entrada (No Trespass Agreement) con el Departamento de Policía Metropolitana de Indianápolis (IMPD), lo que significa que los oficiales pueden hacer cumplir esta orden cuando se reporta actividad sospechosa.

👀 Si observa algo que no parece correcto, por favor no piense que alguien más ya llamó. Su llamada puede marcar la diferencia.

El volante a continuación le ayudará a saber a qué número llamar según la situación:
📞 911 – Emergencias o delitos en curso
📞 311 – Reportes que no son emergencias o actividad sospechosa sin peligro inmediato
📞 211 – Recursos comunitarios y servicios sociales
📞 988 – Apoyo para crisis de salud mental o consumo de sustancias
📞 511 – Información sobre tráfico, carreteras y alertas del clima

Al mantenernos atentos, reportar cualquier situación preocupante y cuidar unos de otros, podemos proteger Hawthorne y mantener nuestra comunidad segura y acogedora para todos.

💙 Si ves algo, repórtalo. Juntos podemos hacer la diferencia.

🚔 Need help but not sure who to call? This quick guide can help connect you with the appropriate service. From emergencies and non-emergencies to mental health support and community resources, knowing the difference matters. Please save and share.

⚽🌎 The World Cup excitement has made its way to our Early Childhood Program! 🎉💚

Our little soccer stars may be a bit too small to kick the balls all the way up, but that didn’t stop the fun! 😆⚽🎯 They had a blast throwing the soccer balls at our inflatable soccer dart board, practicing coordination, exploring, and cheering each other on! 🙌✨

Big smiles, lots of laughs, and plenty of World Cup spirit! 🌟🏆❤️
