Hillcrest Connection
Edition 2 - October 2019
October was a fun-filled month at Hillcrest! We welcomed the Tanglewood Marionettes for a performance of The Dragon King on October 2nd. Our students are working on a new mural under the direction of our art teacher, Mrs. Brown. The rainbow and landscape brightens our upper hallway!
We celebrated Literacy Night on Wednesday, October 23rd. Our families enjoyed a scavenger hunt, character bingo, a read aloud story, and shopping at our Scholastic Book Fair. Farmer Tina visited our second grade classes this month and Farmer Shaun planted lettuce with our kindergarten students in the inner courtyard. Our first graders traveled to Grow it Green for their Fall field trip.
