IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Library News
On June 8th and 9th, Ardie Burnham, the children’s librarian from the Okanagan Regional Library, will be visiting Hillcrest to promote the public library’s Summer Reading Club. It’s a fun, engaging program to encourage kids to read throughout the summer. Information will be sent home with your child on Wednesday or Thursday. 

Also, throughout the week, Mrs. Reed will be running a “Leave A Book, Take A Book” event. Your child is invited to donate one or more gently used books from home. Then, your child may choose one or more used books to take home to keep. 
SMS Parent Night
Grade 5 students and parents are invited to Shuswap Middle School on Wednesday June 8 from 5:00pm to 6:00pm for the SMS Parent Night! School tours will begin at 5:00pm. Gym Strip will also be for sale starting at 5:00pm. There will be a short welcome assembly in the gym at 5:45pm for all in attendance.

Spring Carnival - Thank You!
The biggest thank you to all the vendors, parents, students(past and present) and even grandparents who made our annual Spring Carnival a huge success! We couldn’t put these events on without the support of our wonderful Hillcrest community. A special thank you also goes out to all of our parents and students who volunteered to help with set up, clean up, and/or running a station!

If you won a raffle basket or raffle prize you will hear from a PAC member on Monday about pick up.
Outdoor Movement Paths
There will be a "Painting Party" on Monday June 13 for any parents interested in helping us paint Outdoor Movement Pathways around the exterior of our school. We will begin at 8:30am and anticipate taking 4-5 hours to complete the work under the supervision of SD83 Healthy School's Coordinator, Laura Paiement. If you think you might be able to help with this project please contact gritchie@sd83.bc.ca.
Swimming
This will be our last week of swimming. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who have been coming to help out with our K/1 classes. We will need just as many volunteers this week (for our K/1 classes) so if you think you can help out and haven't signed up already please contact your child's teacher. Also, don't forget to remind your child to wear their swim suit under their clothes on their scheduled swim day and make sure they pack a towel and plastic bag.

Hot Lunch and Fun Day
Our last Panago Hot Lunch of the year will be on Friday June 17. If you have not yet placed your Hot Lunch order for this round, orders are due early on Thursday June 9!

Friday June 17 also our Hillcrest Fun Day. During Fun Day, students will be placed in one of 20 multi-age groups for the morning as they rotate through 10 different "FUN" activities with their peers. Please help your child dress for the weather on this day (ie. Sunscreen and Sun Glasses or Raincoat and Rainboots).
