Thank you to our Hillcrest PTO for a fantastic BINGO Night. We had about 150 people in attendance. We are thankful to have a PTO at Hillcrest that raises money to support our staff and students. Our PTO members work hard and invest a lot of their personal time to support our school family. We thank them for their dedication and commitment to Hillcrest Elementary School!

You did it!

Hillcrest Families,

I am BLOWN away by the participation in our ST Math Week. As a school family, we earned over 147,000 minutes at Hillcrest alone. The district's goal was 50,000 minutes, and as a building we surpassed that goal. We solved over 57,000 math puzzles! It was a great week having a friendly competition amongst our school family. Our top 5 winners will be announced on Monday. These winners will earn a trip to John Deere Headquarters.


Thank you to John Deere. This week during our lunch hour, we had 5 or more volunteers come help our students solve puzzles. Without their help, we would not have surpassed our goal. To celebrate, John Deere is bringing tractors to Hillcrest for our students to explore. We earned more than enough minutes to "build our tractor". This is going to be an exciting day.


St Math was blown away by our students' progress this week. We had a FUN week filled with learning.


There are many great things happening at Hillcrest. As a principal, I am smiling ear to ear! I am proud to be leading your child's education.


Have a great weekend!

I wish you well,

Cami Tapscott
