A message from Mrs. Rittmiller
Hilltop Families -
Thank you for a wonderful and productive school year. I can’t thank everyone enough for your endless hours of volunteering, chaperoning, reading, organizing, donating and doing whatever was necessary to support students—both at home and at school.
A special thanks to our PTO who, as usual, went above and beyond the call of duty to provide whatever was necessary to add to our students’ already rich school experience.
This years school experience could not occur without the endless energy, skills and devotion of the Hilltop staff. Thanks and well done to an incredible group of professionals.
A final word to Hilltop students: Thank you for all your hard work throughout the school year. I am so honored to be your principal; you make me proud to be a Le Sueur Henderson Giant. You keep me laughing and young at heart. I am grateful for your joy, astute insights and amazing talents. Best wishes to our graduating fifth graders, whom I will miss greatly—please come back and visit.
We will end our final week of school for students next week on Thursday, June 2 at 1:00 pm. Everyone have a safe and happy summer break.
Until next school year, here’s wishing you love, laughter and learning.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Rittmiller

Before and after Hilltop Elementary Awards program
Bracelet or necklace
$1.00 each
Special: 4 for $3.00
Sunflower Pictures:
$5.00 with frame
$4.00 without frame
Keychains
$2.00 each
Mrs. Powell’s 4th grade class completed the 7 Mindset curriculum and wanted to put what they learned into action. They decided on making blue and yellow rubber band bracelets which represent the colors of Ukraine. Students also wanted to create sunflower pictures because the sunflower represents the national flower for Ukraine. Ms. Roe’s class joined the cause and made blue and yellow beaded keychains. The children have been working hard the past few weeks on these projects and feeling proud of their commitment to serve.
We will be selling sunflower pictures, bracelets, and keychains on June 1. We will be available outside of Hilltop Elementary from 8:00-8:30 and 9:30-10:00. This is the day of our awards program, so be sure to bring some cash to support our fundraiser! We will also accept donations to support this cause. You can contact Rhonda Powell @ school # 507-665-5919 or rpowell@isd2397.org by June 2 if you would like to make a donation or arrange to make a purchase.
ALL donations will be sent to UNICEF for Ukraine.
