From Principal Drummond

Dear Hill Community,

The first week of November has come and gone. We are now 10 school days away from a holiday week! There is a lot going on at Hill School these next two weeks.

We first want to thank all of the military veterans in our school community and beyond for their service as Veterans Day is this Thursday, November 11th. We will hold a special virtual assembly for our students on Thursday with a guest presenter and more as we celebrate this important day. We are also showcasing our Honor Wall, an annual tradition, with photos of many veterans throughout our families. Thank you to our volunteers who made this possible.

Our next Principal Check-In is this Thursday, November 11th at 3:30. This will be a virtual meeting. We will update everyone on campus happenings and leave time for any questions you may have.
