❤️ Something sweet to start the week! Hillcrest Elementary School hosted its annual 100 Days, 100 Dads event, inviting fathers, grandfathers, community members, and influential role models far and wide to join our students for lunch. As you can see from the photos, there was a huge turnout! The smiles on the students' faces say it all. It means so much to have someone to look up to! Thanks to all our #ABSSCommunity guests who stopped by, including Superintendent Dr. Fleming, Board member Avery Wagoner, and District Attorney Sean Boone! Also shout-out to all the staff who facilitated the big day and our cafeteria staff for serving WAY more than usual. 🤗 📸 Photo credit: Ashley West
