Lunchtime Lego Club w/ Mr. Pablo

The beloved Lego Club has returned to Hill Campus of Arts and Sciences with exciting new changes! Our students are already creating amazing vehicles during lunch periods, and this year we’re introducing a special feature – children can take home their masterpieces when completed.

Lego Donation Drive

We warmly welcome gently used Lego donations to support our program. You can drop off in the main office or directly to Mr. Pablo. Your donated pieces will:

  • Give pre-loved Legos a second life
  • Support creative play and learning
  • Help create an engaging weekly lunch activity for our students

A special thank you to our generous families who have already contributed Legos this year and last. Your donations make this enriching program possible!

Speech & Debate Club w/ Mr. Henley: 

Are you interested in public speaking? Do you need help building your confidence? Do you like arguing with people? Join Hill’s Speech and Debate club to gain valuable skills in public speaking and research. It will help with your ability to perform and persuade and it’s very fun!
