We are so lucky to have had an APA Dance Performance today of "Frozen"! What a great treat before Spring Break! Our students did a great job of following their ROARS!


They earned it!!!! The students did a great job meeting their goal for March is Reading Month!! A huge thanks to Little Ceasers of Alma for helping!!!




Yep, it is official. Hillcrest Island has a new mascot.....what should we name it?!?!

It is that time of year....IYKYK....
(And if you don't....every Spring, Hillcrest is lucky to have duck nests in different locations. It is neat for the students to be able to watch the process over the next few weeks!)🦆🪹
