Happy Summer!
Staff Rock, Paper, Scissors Challenge May 23rd was so much fun!
Thank you to our Social Committee at Hillsdale for coming up with an ALL-STAFF rock, paper, scissors challenge the day before school ended. You could feel the competitive spirit of fun as staff challenged one another to earn the blue beaded necklaces from their colleagues. Pictured below is Mrs. Sharkey winning a load of beads from Mrs. Miller. The final winner, Mrs. Craver had 35 necklaces as she celebrated her victory! (The kids had just as much fun cheering on their teachers!)
