On Thursday March 10 Dr. Bonnie Henry announced that when we return from from Spring Break, masks will no longer be required in schools. This means that we only have 5 days left where students and staff are required to wear masks at school!

We know this has been a very challenging time for everyone and we want to thank everyone for treating each other with kindness and respect, despite differences in opinions at times. We look forward to the positive energy and excitement at school this week in anticipation of the changes ahead.

Leprechaun's have taken over Hillcrest and our grade 5 leaders need your help to build Leprechaun traps!

Leprechauns are tricky, so you have to be even trickier! Think of things that Leprechauns love: gold, rainbows, shamrocks, anything green and sparkly! Then gather your supplies. This could include lego, cardboard, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, ribbons, paper towel rolls, stickers, etc. Next build, build, build!

Bring you finished trap to school on Monday March 14 or Tuesday March 15 to put on display. We can't wait to see how creative and imaginative you can be!

Our next Hot Lunch (Panago Pizza) is on Friday March 18. Thank you in advance to all of our fantastic parent volunteers who make this possible for us.

Players from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks will be at Hillcrest on Tuesday March 15 to play some floor hockey and read books with some of our students. It will be very exciting for our students to meet some of the players they watched at the Hillcrest Silverbacks Game Night last month!
