Please find in this newsletter activities scheduled for the remainder of the year. It is probably not complete but it’s close........should help you in keeping your family calendars organized.

Artist in Residence at Hill

Thanks to Mrs. Churley (Hill PE teacher), the Hill PTA and the Nebraska Arts Council, Hill will host John “Fax” Gilbert a mime artist from Fairfield, Iowa. Mime, Masks and Magic will be our all school assembly Monday morning, January 6th. Fax will work Tuesday through Friday with all classes during their regularly scheduled PE times. Mime is a unique nonverbal performing art in which the technique of portraying a character, mood, idea or narration is done through gestures and bodily movements. Thanks again, Mrs. Churley and Hill PTA.

Hill Parent Teacher Conferences

Conferences are scheduled for Feb. 13 (kdg. only), Feb. 18 (kdg. only), Feb. 20 (gr. 1-5 only), and Feb. 25 (all grades). Appointment books will be in the office beginning January 13th. You also can call the office to arrange a conference time.

Long Range Facilities Planning
Hill parents are strongly encouraged to give input to the district regarding long range facility planning. The company LPS has hired for the study will be meeting with parents and other community members at Lincoln Southwest High School on January 15th at 7:00 pm. This is a rapidly growing area of the city that needs representation at this meeting......please attend. It will also be a great night for a peek at the new Southwest High School. Hope to see you there!

Explore! Afterschool Enrichment Classes

After a great fall semester of Spanish, Sign, and Chess classes, Explore! will take a brief break and resume the first week of February. Registrations for spring semester
