Hilltop Elementary

What a great first week at Hilltop! Thank you all in advance for your support this year! The staff and I look forward to an amazing year with these fabulous kids! Please check out out bi-monthly Hilltop Herald. https://www.smore.com/f4njd-hilltop-herald

Please take a minute to read our final Hilltop Herald: https://www.smore.com/bsa1c-hilltop-herald We look forward to seeing families at our Awards Ceremony and Grade 5 Celebration on Wednesday, June 1 at 8:30 am in the Hilltop Gymnasium!

UNICEF for Ukraine Fundraiser Wednesday, June 1st. Before and after Hilltop Elementary Awards program. Bracelet or necklace: $1.00 each or 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 1st. We will be available outside of Hilltop 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 2nd if you would like to make a donation or arrange to make a purchase. ALL donations will be sent to UNICEF for Ukraine.

Look what's happening in Media Class! Last week students made posters about a speech on inequality as part of a unit on inequality in technology. This week they are doing gallery walks to give feedback to the creators.

The GLAD retreat was a great night of laughing, crafting, eating, yoga and building confidence with amazing Hilltop humans!!
