1st grade students had the RESD Nutrition lessons today with a focus on hand washing! That is the perfect lesson for this time of year!
We are very lucky to offer PE classes to our students as well as Health and Wellness where students get lots of physical activity, but also learn the health benefits of it!
Please be advised-
APS has been made aware that text messages have been sent out stating that it is "Stacey Criner" asking for donation gift cards. Please know this is a SCAM. I am not sending messages via text. We are not collecting gift card donations.
3rd graders have been working hard on their writing! We are getting better each day!
CMU STEM Experience for our 3rd graders this week! Students working on coding and creating movement in a robot! Thanks to PTO for awesome experiences like this for our students!
Due to bus driver illness, students riding bus G will be picked up an hour late today. If your child rides bus G, you will receive a call from the transportation department. We apologize for the inconvenience.
A HUGE thanks to the PTO for stocking the elementary lounges today to start the 2nd Trimester! Our teachers feel the love!
Just a few days left in November!!!
November is Homeless Awareness Month and here at Hillcrest, we want to help bring awareness of homelessness and housing insecurity in our communities. That’s why we’re partnering with United Way to raise money for Gratiot County Hope House through a coin war challenge called “Coins for a Cause”! United Way is committed to matching all funds raised (up to $10,000) so now’s your chance to double your donation! Students can bring in their spare change during November. The classroom that raises the most money will win a pizza party from United Way!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Mrs. Lyon's 1st grade class had their own Thanksgiving Parade with ballon floats they designed! Someday we might see these designs on tv for the actual parade!
Mrs. Benjamin's 1st grade class wanted to show how thankful they were to all of our staff members by delivering snacks and making them cards.
We looked all around for Turkeys but they were all in disguise!
3rd graders have been working very hard on their writing and classes have completed a culmination project for the book The BFG!
With Thanksgiving week upon us, elementary Art students are designing floats for the Macy's Parade!
Hillcrest staff had some fun on Friday playing Rock, Paper, Scissors! Some of the classes got in on the fun as well! Congrats to Mrs. Lyon as she reins as the Rock, Paper, Scissors All-Star!!
We have officially made it through 1/3 of the year! We have had a great beginning and are very excited for what is to come!
