Happy Veterans Day to all of the military personnel who have served our country. Thank you for your service!
We had a busy yet fun week at Hilsman. Highlights from the week include, BOE recognition for some FFA members, Moonlight Madness, a win for the boys basketball team, Parent Coffee, revealing of the plans for a beautiful new building, ending it with the Annual SOAR 5K! Thank you to everyone that came out to support the activities. I continue to encourage you all to participate in the activities and get involved at Hilsman! Your presence is always welcomed and your voice is important. You will have more opportunities this week to get involved and we look forward to seeing you.
Thank you,
Principal Tolbert
