Teacher Appreciation Spirit Week

May 5-9 is Teacher Appreciation Week and we are celebrating our teachers in many different ways, including a Hill spirit week! Check out our theme days – we are exciting to have some fun celebrating our teachers next week!

Monday: “Storybook Style– Everyone wears book-related clothing/Character clothing

Tuesday: Nurse Day–Wear Scrubs and stethoscopes if you have them! 

Wednesday: Professor Chic–Embody a stylish yet scholarly look, mixing professional attire with a trendy, academic vibe  

Thursday: Grade Expectations–Everyone dresses as if they’re preparing for an exam—think “study mode” with glasses, highlighters, pens, or even clipboards. (Nerdy Day)

Friday:  Neon Highlights–Think neon colors, like hot pink, electric blue, and neon yellow. Everyone can wear neon-colored outfits/80s theme 

8th Grade Continuation Opportunity:

On Thursday, May 8th we will have an 8th Grade Continuation makeup opportunity after school from 1:15pm-4:00pm. This will be hosted in the library and students will have the opportunity to make up attendance, Q2 & Q3 portfolio makeup assignments, & ICAP surveys. Unfortunately, community service will NOT be offered at this opportunity.

Please reach out to Director Turner if you have any questions or concerns.

“Beetlejuice Jr.” Comes to Life at Hill!

Our talented Hill theater students are hard at work bringing the strange and unusual to the stage with this year’s musical production of Beetlejuice Jr. Join us as we journey into the afterlife (and back again!) in this hilarious and heartfelt show about family, acceptance, and letting go — with a whole lot of spooky fun along the way.
