Now that we have had some warmer days, the students are eager to get digging in the sand box again. However, we are in need of some sands toys. If you have any at your house that you are no longer using, we would graciously accept them here. Thank you for considering this request.

Joyeux Mardi Gras! Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Hazzard and all of our parent volunteers for the delicious crêpes today. Students and staff got into the spirit of the day et ont laissé les bons temps rouler. 📿🥞🎭










Popcorn day has been moved to Wednesday this week to make room for those delicious crêpes!
🌍 **Celebrating Francophone Month!** 🎉
At Hillcrest, we’re proud to celebrate the diversity of the French language this month! Spoken by over 300 million people across five continents, French connects cultures from Canada to Africa, Europe to the Pacific Islands.
This month, we honour the richness of the French-speaking world, embracing the variety of voices and traditions that make the language and the people who speak it so unique.
Let’s continue to explore and celebrate the global francophone community! 🌏❤️

Spring is just around the corner and Hillcrest School Council is once again offering beautiful flowers for sale in partnership with Windover Nurseries. Profits from the sales go to support the initiatives of School Council, like offsetting the costs associated with field trips.
To place your order, please log in to School Cash Online.


Reminder: Monday, March 3rd is grad photo retake day.

Pink Shirt Day is a powerful reminder that kindness, inclusion, and standing up for others can create a safer, more supportive world. What started as a small act of solidarity—two students wearing pink to support a classmate who was bullied—has grown into an international movement against bullying in all its forms.
Let’s go beyond just one day. Let’s make every day a Pink Shirt Day by speaking up, supporting those who need it, and creating environments where respect and empathy lead the way.
#PinkShirtDay #BeKind

Time is running out to place your order for crêpes on Mardi Gras. Please log into School Cash Online before the end of the day tomorrow to purchase this delicious treat. This is a fundraiser for our Grade 8 Muskoka Woods trip.

Today, students in Mr. Triest's class engaged in hands-on robotics learning with Lego kits provided by the LKDSB Program Department. Students communicated in French for an authentic purpose and to achieve a common goal. Bravo les amis!
