Hillcrest Elementary School
Week of January 28, 2024
What's Up Next?
Good Day HES Family & Friends!
Thank you for another exciting week at Hillcrest! We are so proud of the growth our students are making. We also want to congratulate our school's Spelling Bee Winners on their participation at the District Spelling Bee this past week. All of the contestants did a great job representing their respective schools. As we prepare for the week ahead, please be reminded to submit money and order forms for t-shirts, if you and/or your child plans to participate in our Love & Basketball event on February 13, 2024. No orders will be accepted after Thursday, February 1st.
Lastly, please be reminded that school starts at 8:15 a.m. Please make every effort to have your child arrive on time to school daily. Also, if your child is absent for any reason, please be sure to submit a doctor's excuse or parent written excuse the day your child returns back to school. We thank you for your continued support of our students and school.
Habit of the Week: Habit #7 – Sharpen the Saw!
Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have, which is YOU. It means having a balanced way of providing self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. We should all be taking care of ourselves in these four areas often to be the best person that we can be. As a result, you will create growth and change in your life in a positive way. So, if you don't already, take time to do something that helps you become a better version of yourself.
Family Activity: Schedule something fun and relaxing to do individually this week. Then, come back together as a family to discuss what you did and how it made you feel. I encourage you to begin planning similar activities like this as a family each month.
Habit #7: Balance is best!
