Brener Knowledge a Thon (KAT) is underway!
This is a great fundraiser for many reasons!
Students study questions appropriate for the grade level.
ALL money raised goes directly back to the students! Some of the things KAT funds: field trips, the book machine, Opera for the Young, Wade Fernandez, treats and prizes for students…and so much more
Students can earn various incentive levels based on the amount of pledges they collect.
Students took home information on Jan 29.
Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you need additional copies.

Lice Prevention
The Importance of Head Checks
Hillcrest, LEADS, & Olga Brener
Please remember to routinely check your child for head lice. Cases of head lice often increase following school breaks when children have spent time in close contact with each other at sleepovers or other social groupings.
It is important to remember that children may have head lice without parents knowing or parents may choose to not inform the school. I would encourage you to routinely check your child’s hair for evidence of head lice as part of a weekly routine. Early detection and treatment are a key component to eliminating lice infestation. Class screenings are generally ineffective for early case finding and are not routinely or automatically done. The parent or guardian has the ultimate responsibility to ensure children are free of lice and nits.
Thank you for your assistance!
