Arts Day 2016

Our 11th annual Arts Day was held last Friday, March 18th and it was such an amazing day! We had over 15 artists in different rooms all throughout the building sharing their talents and knowledge with our students. Each class rotated throughout the school and saw 5 to 6 of the various artists. This year we had a number of new artists that were able to join us. Here's a list of them below with a few pictures. If you'd like to see all the pictures we took that day you can click on the Arts Day Album below.

Thank you to our amazing PTA and supportive principals for helping us make the whole day happen!

Artome Art Show 2016

This was our first annual Art Show at Hillcrest that we did with a company called Artome and wow! It was an absolute success!! Thank you to everyone that came out to the show! We absolutely loved seeing so many students here showing off their work with their families, checking out other students' masterpieces, and us getting to meet your families. We had in total 780 artworks on display! There were well over 200 students that attended the show and many, many more family member. Thank you Mrs. Teems for helping to organize the show, Miss Hyde for staying and helping out, and the lovely PTA moms that donated cookies and stayed to help us with checkout. It couldn't have been possible without everyone's help!
