Hillcrest Central End Of Year Messages

Messages from Principal Jeff Moser: As we move towards summer, I hope every family has the opportunity to get away and spend some quality time together.

From Jeff Moser, Principal: Spring is a time of rebirth, rejuvenation, and renewal. With the snow melting, all of the plants, trees and animals are coming out of their winter slumber.

Bluewater School Board Update
8
Hello everyone. Hope all is well and everyone has settled into 2011. It has been over 2 months since I took on the role of Bluewater District School Board trustee for the Municipality of Brockton and South Bruce. Therefore I thought it would be timely to summarize what has transpired in the past couple of months. The last couple of months have certainly been busy visiting throughout both Municipalities and getting acquainted with parents/students, staff and School Council members. I have had the pleasure of attending my first School Council Meeting and met with parents and staff. I am already familiar with several of the staff members as they used to teach in Walkerton. The first thing I noticed was the number of meetings to attend and the numerous workshops and courses … Read entire article »
