IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Pink Shirt Day
Don’t forget to wear PINK on Wednesday February 24 in recognition of Pink Shirt Day. The theme for this year’s Pink Shirt Day is “Lift each other up”; a simple but powerful message encouraging us to look beyond our differences and celebrate the things that make us unique.

In recognition of Pink Shirt Day our students have also been preparing messages of kindness for our school wide Crazy for Kindness bulletin board!
Wildlife Safety
As spring approaches it is common to see wildlife in the Hillcrest area. Over the weekend there were even reports of a cougar near Crystal Springs subdivision! Please take some time to talk to your children about precautions to take when playing in your neighborhood and walking back and forth to school.
