Spring Brew, This Thursday, 6.30-8.30
Spring Brew is Hill Top's celebration of creativity in visual and performing arts. This Thursday, come by the mansion at 6.30 to walk through an exhibit of visual artwork from students across all grades. At 6.45, rock out with our House Band (featuring all middle schoolers this year!). Then at 7.30, settle into the Large Commons for a musical review put together by our Performing Arts activity.
Spring Brew is always a wonderful night and a great way to head into the holiday weekend.

Mental Health Awareness Month
Help break the stigma and prioritize your mental wellness. Supporting each other through listening, self care practices, or seeking professional help is always helpful while we work on our mental health.

Art Installation
Last month the art department had the pleasure of hosting visiting artist Mrs. Amy Kelly. For about three weeks Mrs. Kelly worked with the 8th through 12th grade students who painted self portraits on 2 x 4’s. Once completed, the planks were merged together like a fence and installed at the bottom of the driveway on the fence of the basketball court. The students and Mrs. Kelly enjoyed working together and the finished project is amazing! Ms. Scott and Mrs. Seyfried thanked Mrs. Kelly and the students for creating such a great piece of work for the school to enjoy.

Help us Recycle Plastic Bags
We are collecting grocery store plastic bags and plastic packaging. Bring your bags to the bin in the mansion lobby. Thanks in advance for your support!
