Good afternoon,
I want to start the blog off this week with a HUGE thank you for every parent that came out to listen and help with the concerns at Hilsman. Great things are already happening as a result of your voices. Again, it takes a community to raise a successful school and I appreciate the community that I serve on a daily basis. Please do not forget to get your volunteer forms in to me ASAP. This week will be just as busy as we are preparing to administer benchmark exams. Please make sure that you have encouraged your child to review and complete the packets that were sent home in every major content area. It is our goal to prepare our students. The better prepared they are, the better they will perform.
There will be a Valentine's Day Dance this Tuesday from 6-8. Please support the 8th grade teachers effort to raise money for their field trip to Washington, D. C. We are also asking for donations of snacks to sell during the dance. Please consider donating chips, canned sodas, and candy. Students are asked to wear red but it is casual attire. We are looking forward to a great time.
Lastly, please continue to encourage your child to show respect and kindness at all times. We want a school where every kid feels accepted, loved, and important. Again, thank you for your voices and help! It is a pleasure to serve as the principal of Hilsman.
Ms. U. Tolbert
