Happy Tuesday!
Here is to a great week! We are on a count down at Hilsman. The classrooms and halls are buzzing with excitement as we enter the official last 9 days of school. Last week was filled with our field day events and everyone had a blast. It was great to see the students engaging in physical and healthy competitions. Our Connections Team did an amazing job of planning this event under the leadership of Coach Pullen and Coach Varnadoe!
We are pushing to end the year on a great note. If you missed the band concert last night, you definitely missed a treat! Thanks to Mrs. Camp for a great concert. Please join us tonight for the FFA Banquet, tomorrow for 21st Century Family Night, Thursday, for the chorus concert, and Friday at Cedar Shoals for Relay for Life. Yes, we are in the midst of another busy week.
I also want to encourage you to continue to speak to your child regarding their behavior. Our Panthers are super excited about the year ending. They are full of energy! Although we welcome the excitement, we want everyone to exceed our PAWS Expectations until the end of the year. If students violate the Student Code of Conduct, they could be in jeopardy of not participating in the end of year activities. Again, our goal is to end the year with everyone present!
Please stay tuned below to the Week at a Glance!
Thanks,
Principal Tolbert
