February is National Children’s Dental Health Month — and we’re all smiles at Hill City!
Our kindergartners had a terrific time learning about healthy dental habits with Dr. Pryor today. From brushing and flossing to keeping those pearly whites sparkling clean, it was a hands-on, fun-filled presentation that had everyone grinning from ear to ear!
A big THANK YOU to Dr. Pryor for helping our students build bright smiles and healthy habits!

Paleontologists at Work!
Mrs. Gilleland’s third graders excavated fossils - they’re really digging into their learning!
Students in Mrs. Moss’ 4th grade math class played Sums of One Memory Game. The goal of the game is to make a pair (one from the tenths pile and one from the hundredths pile) that have a sum of one whole. Mrs. Moss’ students love it when she picks the partners! 😉

Hello Hill City families!
We are excited to share our first-ever Hawks Read One Book program!
On Monday, every Hill City family will receive a copy of the novel "The One and Only Ruby" by Katherine Applegate. If you have multiple children at Hill City, the book will go home with your oldest sibling—and it’s yours to keep! A flyer and pacing guide will be included.
Families are welcome to read independently, but we’ll also have daily Mystery Readers sharing recordings of the designated pages—just like an audiobook! The audio links will be shared through Infinite Campus.
Students are encouraged to participate in daily trivia questions based on the previous night’s reading. (There will be PRIZES!) We’ll finish the novel just in time to celebrate Read Across America on Friday, March 6th!
We can’t wait to read with you!
