Week of November 13, 2023
What's Up Next?
Good Day HES Family & Friends!
We’re off to a great start with another exciting week at Hillcrest Elementary! Thank you to everyone that came out to join us last week for our Thanksgiving Family Luncheon! It was so great to see so many smiles on faces.
Don’t forget to join us tomorrow evening for our Academic Parent Teacher Team Meeting (APTT) at 5:30 p.m. in your child’s teacher classroom. We will also distribute our 2nd Nine Week Progress Report Cards at that the end of the evening. We will be out for Thanksgiving Break next week. We hope that you enjoy spending time with your loved ones during this break and look forward to seeing you return back on Monday, November 27. Happy Thanksgiving!
Habit of the Week: Habit #7 – Sharpen the Saw
Habit 7 is about keeping yourself "sharp" so that you can better deal with life. It means that you should take time to take care of your body by eating right, exercising, and getting the right amount of sleep. It also means that you are spending time with family and friends, as well as finding ways to help others. So ask yourself, are you taking care of yourself?
Family Activity: Begin developing a list of ideas to help you in "sharpening your saw" with your child and family. Some ideas to consider may include: exercising, reading, playing games, cooking together, working in the yard together, and/or going to eat lunch or dinner together.
Habit #7: Balance is best!
