Hillcrest Space Station did lose power at the end of the day today, but the students did a great job of handling the situation! The good news is....POWER IS BACK ON!!! See everyone in the morning!

We are excited to begin our Staff Spotlight again this year! Each week, we will highlight a teacher and a parapro in our building! We are so lucky and thankful to have such a wonderful staff here at Hillcrest!!!

We had some visitors wanting to come to Hillcrest Space Station this morning!

This performance will be streamed at the High School Auditorium on October 21st at 7:15 – we’ll have some folks from Alma College explaining the project and providing some brochures on the history of the Opera House. This would be an interesting event for parents to bring their students who are studying Michigan History. If you have any questions, please contact Sheryle Dixon at sddixon@alma.edu or (989) 463-7967.

We had an awesome week at Hillcrest this week! Have a great weekend! Here is this week's Hillcrest Space Station Happenings-Oct 8 https://www.smore.com/hb5z3

Thanks to everyone for making transportation arrangements for your student today with the half day. We know that half days can be challenging for families, but we appreciate you making the changes necessary! All students were aware of how they were getting home and all students were picked up in timely manner!
