Happy February!
We welcome Mrs. Becky Azzano to our staff. Becky is with us every Tuesday as our Library Clerk.
School Council meetings are the second Wednesday of the month. The next meeting is February 10, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. Please plan to attend.
We are excited to announce that FULL-TIME JUNIOR AND SENIOR KINDERGARTEN is coming to Hillcrest in September 2010. Classes will be led by a teacher and a registered early childhood educator working together. Before and after school programs will be offered to these students, for a fee; more information will be coming in the spring. There will be regular updates about full-day learning on the Ministry of Education website at www.ontario.ca/earlylearning .
Litterless Lunches
Thank you for all of your efforts to send Litterless Lunches to school with your child. Our custodian reports a 40% decrease in the amount of garbage that we are sending to the dumpsters. Hillcrest will continue to do its part to be Environmentally Friendly. Thanks for your participation.
Talk to Your Child About Their Day!
Parents often lament that when they ask their child what they did today, the answer is NOTHING. Here are suggestions for prompts that you can use with your child:
What was the best part about your day or what you are most proud of doing?
What was the most challenging part of your day?
What did you do to help someone or to make their day better?
