| Classroom and Bead Day Ceremonies |
The end of the school year brings high emotions and the opportunity for closure and transitioning events. At Hilltop Montessori School, the students and teachers have traditional and evolving ceremonies that each program shares within their classroom community. Each program had their own internal celebration of transitions and then, in the afternoon,
the whole school community came together for Hilltop's Field Day and Bead Ceremony.
Take a look!

| Lobby Makeover |
Thank you to sculptor and Children's House Parent, Rodrigo Nava, for designing and creating some wonderful new "artwork" for our lobby. The glass piece to the left will be lettered with future award recipients of the Kahn Mason Award for Outstanding Contribution to Hilltop. The large black metal sheet will soon be filled with magnetized Montessori materials creating a "movable" art piece for young and old to enjoy!
The newest addition to the ensemble is a beautiful bench hand crafted by our very own Marco Yunga! The ingrain, he has told us, is reminiscent of his homeland's Andes Mountains. We're so honored to have this little piece of Marco welcoming our guests!

Wanted: Petsitter
Would your family or someone you know like to take care of our beautiful long-haired cat in your pet-free home this summer? Alie is an affectionate indoor cat and needs looking after while we're away, June 15th to August 15th. Pay: $400. A great test to see if your son or daughter is ready for a pet...and good for older kids who'd like to make a little money too! Also possible: A tryout. Take care of Alie for a single week, June 15-22. Interested? Contact Carol at 802-490-0197 or
catmilan@aol.com.
Wanted: Brattleboro Rental Apartment
Carol and Zoe Greenhouse are looking for a 2- to 3-bedroom apartment in downtown Brattleboro. (Great references.) Know of something? Contact Carol at
catmilan@aol.com or 802-490-0197. Thanks!
Are you looking for extra help around the house?
Childcare? Petsitter? House sitter...?
Hi, I'm Katie Reynolds, a Hilltop alumna (class of 2011!) and
a rising junior at Mount Holyoke College,
and I'm seeking: any type of helper's job! Petsitting, house-sitting, childcare, you name it! Get in contact and I'm certain we can work something out.
As a counselor at SummerFun (both last year and this upcoming session) and a substitute in the Children's House, I am experienced in childcare for all ages up from 1.5 years old.
I love animals and have been working as a volunteer farm hand at Farming Connections Inc. in Guilford since 2011. I am perfectly willing to mold my schedule to yours, as long as I can still keep my commitment to my work at Hilltop. Any time of the day, any amount of time, I can be there!
If you or someone you know is interested in my services as a house-sitter, childcare provider, or petsitter (and it doesn't matter what kind of animal!) please contact me, Katie or call 802-451-6822.
A big
THANK YOU to
Hazel for providing our students and staff with delicious pizza each week!
Many thanks to Brattleboro Tire, 558 Putney Road in Brattleboro for donating
snow tires for our Hilltop van

While we are at the end of our spring sports season and vacation is coming up, as soccer coaches we are thinking that our fall season is just around the corner. A preseason meeting is scheduled for the end of this school year for all interested soccer players (
boys and girls), currently in grades 8 through 11. The
Meeting will be
Monday
