Homecoming Week Dress-Up Fun Continues!

Check out the amazing styles from Mrs. Everett's Pre-K and Mrs. Dilbeck's Kindergarten classes. These young Hawks are rocking some throwback fashion looks! Can you guess which decades they’re representing?

We have a new Hawk Award recipient to celebrate!

Mrs. Dittmer chose to honor Kellie Henson, sharing these kind words:

"She is a true leader of our team. If she doesn’t know the answer to a question, she will go out of her way to find the answer or help with whatever issues arise. She always greets you with a warm smile, a cheerful 'HELLO,' and a chipper attitude that makes everyone feel welcome."

Thank you, Mrs. Henson, for everything you do each day to support our students and staff. We are so grateful for you!

Say hello to Note Man!

Kindergarten and 1st-graders are learning about music notes and how to draw them by creating Note Man in music class with Mrs. Richards this week!

Mrs. Chapman and her helpful Hawks in Ag class have been at it again. Freshly picked and bagged okra is in the Food Pantry at the front of the school. Get yours before it's gone!

Mrs. Shealey's first graders had an exciting visit to the media center! With the help of "Mr. Wiggles the Bookworm," they learned all about how to care for their books and check them out using a shelf marker.

Checking out 3 library books is a BIG responsibility, but we know these readers are up for the challenge! #ReadReturnRepeat

Get your autograph books ready!

We've got little celebrities in Mrs. Anderson's PreK classroom today! What a fun way to celebrate Day #2 of Homecoming Week!

Apple Adventures in PreK!

Students in Mrs. Hamilton's PreK enjoyed exploring all things apples during small group rotations! They practiced counting quantities, got creative by constructing their own apple crafts, and even became little scientists as they tested ramps using apples of different sizes.

Our Hawks are busy “Bee-ing Proactive!” Students are showing Habit #1: Be Proactive from the "Leader in Me" program in action. Here are our Week 1 raffle winners who earned tickets by making proactive choices — and it paid off!

Our Hawks may have been cozy in their PJs to support Dragon Nation during Homecoming Week, but they were wide awake and ready to learn today! Here's Mrs. Culbreth's third grade class celebrating Pajama Day!

Learning to look closely! Mrs. Justice's ELA 4th graders worked in teams to spot key details that help uncover the central idea.

Make your mark! Just like Vashti in "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds, our students explored creativity and problem-solving with Ms. Emma in the Computer & STEM Lab. Fourth graders tackled the "Wrecking Ball" challenge to learn about force and motion, 2nd and 3rd graders added the "A" for Art in STEAM with dot creations, and our kindergartners predicted and tested whether a 2D or 3D "dot" would sink or float.

Homecoming Spirit Week starts on Monday! Students may dress up in the day's theme, if they wish.

Way to go, Hill City team!
Our faculty and staff had the BEST ATTENDANCE in Pickens County during the month of August! #TeamHillCity #HawkPride

Sweet Success! Mrs. Culbreth’s third-grade class has rocked their attendance and earned a popsicle party! Hard work + showing up every day = sweet rewards! #AttendanceMatters
