https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6x5pD5_Wk4g We're excited to introduce you to our new school friend and role model: Cowboy KYHFOOTY! 🤠🐴 At Hillcrest, we are working hard to follow Cowboy KYHFOOTY's golden rule: Always keep your hands, feet, and other objects to yourself! It's all about being safe and respectful to everyone in our school family. 💖 To celebrate following this important rule, each classroom is working together to fill up a pumpkin with slices 🎃. When a class completely fills their pumpkin, they'll earn a delicious pie 🥧 to share and enjoy as we head into the holiday season! 😋 Will you help us out at home? Please take a moment to chat with your child about Cowboy KYHFOOTY and the importance of keeping our hands, feet, and objects to ourselves! Your support makes a huge difference! ✨

Last year, our reading scores soared 📈 thanks to the hard work of our amazing students and teachers — and now we’re ready to take writing to the next level! 💪✨

We can’t wait to see what adding a strong, consistent writing program will do for our readers AND writers here at Hillcrest! 💛💚
