Day four of Homecoming week found athletes and math-letes competing against one another in more “Minute to Win It” games.  The competition was fierce as they used balloons to blow cups off a table, moved m&m’s from one plate to another using only a straw, and “hiked” toilet paper to a classmate who had to catch it with one hand only.  As of today, the Junior class is leading in the points, but “it ain’t over ’till it’s over”: Tomorrow class floats will be presented as part of the Homecoming parade, and anyone can still take the lead!

Upper-school students haven’t been the only ones on campus to participate in Homecoming week dress-up days; Mrs. Engels’s second graders and Mrs. Osborne’s K-5 students have made sure to get in on the fun too!

On day two of Hillcrest’s 2017 Homecoming week, the Upper School campus was overtaken by cowboys and Indians, and one representative from each class participated as part of a team to compete in a Family Feud-style game.  While the girls’ team started out strong, in the end the guys’ team of cowboys, led by Coach Horner, took the victory today.

Day one of Hillcrest’s 2017 Homecoming week saw the Upper School campus overrun by “tacky tourists” competing in “Minute to Win It” games to earn points for their classes.

Today is the official, grand re-opening of the Cougar Store, just around the corner inside the Lower School building, from 2:00 through 6:00 PM!  We have all new inventory with a wide variety of game-day and school-spirit gear to choose from; plus, many of last year’s items are marked down.  And with only 111 days until Christmas, it’s not too early to start thinking about getting gifts for all the Cougar fans in your house… Come on by and do some shopping!
