These winners are: Lucas, Emma, Dauson, Luke, Noah, Sawyer, Stella, and Alyvia.

Easter greetings from our Pre-K and Kindergarten Hawks! We hope everyone enjoys special family time, plenty of rest and relaxation, and lots of springtime fun. We’ll see you back on the Hill on Monday, April 13th!
Little Learners – Big Futures Career Day was a huge success!
A big thank you to our amazing presenters for inspiring our Hawks to start thinking about their futures—so many exciting possibilities ahead! We also want to give a special shoutout to Mrs. Bradley for organizing this fantastic in-house field trip.
This experience truly helped our students focus on Habit #2: "Begin With the End in Mind" and our PCSD's goal of Enrolled, Enlisted, or Employed!
Our amazing custodians, Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Mandy, pulled off a fun April Fool’s surprise for our Hawks this morning—adding googly eyes to our farm animal murals! The students LOVED it!
Maybe all those extra eyes will help keep an eye on some of that "extra excitement" we’re seeing at lunch as Spring Break gets closer!
Courtney Davis, one of our amazing first grade teachers, is our Teacher of the Month, and Jamie Richards, our media center paraprofessional, is Staff Member of the Month.
Thank you both for going above and beyond each day—your positivity, enthusiasm, and leadership truly make a difference. We appreciate you!
Sponsored by the Hill City PTO, enjoy a FREE showing of "Despicable Me 4" with complimentary popcorn and bottled water.
Bring your chairs and blankets—we’ll see you there!

This kindergartner in Mrs. Dilbeck’s class mastered all her sight words and celebrated with a visit to the Book Vending Machine! Way to go, Naomi!
Due to Career Day next Friday, there will be a change to the lunch menu. The only entrée available will be a hamburger sack lunch.
Please note that students will be eating in their classrooms, so we will not be able to accommodate family guests during lunch time on this day.
Thank you for your understanding as we make this special day a success for our students!
This fabulous fourth grader’s entry in the Young Georgia Authors’ Competition has WON for our region (NGRESA) and is advancing to the state competition!
We are so proud of your enthusiasm for writing, your creativity, and the expertise you show as you continue to grow as a writer. Keep it up, Kate—we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next!
Our young scientists in grades 2–4 explored the importance of access to clean water in the STEM Lab! After reading "The Water Princess" by Susan Verde, students learned about the real-life challenges many people face around the world just to find safe drinking water. Through hands-on exploration, they put their engineering skills to work—testing different materials to design and build their own water filters.
