Congratulations to these young artists for creating this beautiful work and exhibiting such talent! |
| The Hillcrest Open House night "Doors to the World" on September 16th was a huge success! Thank you to all teachers, staff, students, and community members who shared in this unique celebration by dressing up in either a country's historical person of significance or a depiction of a country's traditional dress. Teachers did a marvelous job of providing their own doors as the passage way to some near and far away lands. Our students shared art, songs, music, dance and poetry that they created within their focus studies for this event. Thank you for taking part in this special time with us. |
| Each month our Hillcrest family of faculty and staff share commendable comments to two individuals for the Teacher and Classified award of the month and share in honoring their colleagues who are recognized. |
