Yesterday was all about self-love and positivity at Hillcrest! Our student lighthouse team started by watching a powerful video on popping negative talk, followed by crafting our Positive Self-Talk pages. It's a reminder we all need! And to seal the day with self-love, we wrote Valentines to ourselves, spreading love from within.

Today Ms. deLigt's class went on a Character Traits Mission! Students worked together to solve a character trait matching assignment. Teamwork makes the dream work!


Ms. Cheek's 4th-grade Class wrote letters to Santa. We want to thank the Burlington Police Department for mailing them to the North Pole. Each of her 22 students received individual responses. Here are a few the responses!



All aboard! 🚂🎅❄️ Hillcrest Elementary was transformed into a wintry wonderland this week as students took a magical round trip to the North Pole via The Polar Express. After getting their golden ticket stamped, they boarded the "train" in the gym and listened as Media Specialist Ms. Mann read the classic story while enjoying hot cocoa and cookies. 🍪🥤The hardworking staff went above and beyond to create decorations that really enhanced the experience. This will be a day the students won't forget!










Grateful sips and a heartfelt thanks to the Hillcrest PTO and the Harper Belles Coffee Truck for the morning coffee!! #aBrewtifulExperience




Hats off to the holidays! On Monday, spread some cheer in your festive headgear! #HollyJollyHats
