HV Update 12-13-2024
A message from your principal, Mrs. Stager
It was a chilly end to the week here! The 4th graders enjoyed the candy house project and the kindergarteners put on an amazing winter concert today! We have one more full week of school left before the break. We are going to have a Spirit Week (well, really a week and a day) starting next Monday through Monday, December 23rd. Monday, December 23rd is an early dismissal day at 12:40 P.M.
Enjoy your weekend and we'll see you back at HV on Monday!
Best,
Allison

Artist Caren Olmsted will be returning to Hillview this school year for another wonderful mural project. It will be located in the gym wing of the school and will be a permanent feature. If you are interested in having a paw print painted with your families name, child’s name, class’s name, etc., click the link below to place an order. Please note we will not be able to add paws once the mural has been started. Leave your legacy on Hillview
Visit Caren’s website to see some of her beautiful work:
All Hillview students along with parent volunteers, will participate in painting this exciting mural project. Keep a lookout later this year for a sign up to come help the students paint the mural.
