Friday Activities- 1/24
Friday represents the end of midterm exams and the midpoint of the school year. It's been a fantastic first half and we have much to reflect upon and celebrate! As we do so, we also look forward to and plan for the spring semester and all the opportunities we'll have as the days lengthen and the temperatures rise. So, on Friday afternoon, we'll spend some time examining the first semester, our triumphs and lessons learned, and use them to set some new goals and plan for the coming semester.

In the afternoon, students will have the opportunity to participate in a good old fashioned Fire and Ice celebration, including a bonfire, hot chocolate and snacks, creative winter activities and, if they're dressed appropriately, some sledding. Students less inclined to be out in the cold and snow will have plenty of indoor options but we're hoping everyone comes prepared on Friday to spend at least a little time gathered around the fire or enjoying the outdoor festivities.

Temperatures will be in the low 30s on Friday afternoon, so we ask that students bring winter jackets, hats and gloves for the outdoor fun. Students who aren't prepared for the outdoors will be limited to indoor activities.

Congratulations to the entire Hill Top Community for a great first semester! We're looking forward to carrying our success into the spring!

Parents Corner

You're Invited! It's Quizo Trivia Night Adult Social Jan 25th
This year, the PA is hosting a Quizo Trivia Night, and it’s shaping up to be a fantastic evening for our school community. This is a free, adults-only event- a great chance to unwind, connect with other parents, and enjoy some laughs together. Even if trivia isn’t your thing, don’t let that hold you back! There will be plenty of opportunities to mingle and enjoy some adult time.
We’re also exploring the possibility of offering a kids’ activity night to help families who might otherwise miss out. If this would make it easier for you to attend, please reply and let me know—it’s important to us that everyone has the chance to come.
Let’s come together, share stories, and make some memories
Date: Saturday, January 25th
Time: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Hill Top Mansion
