THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family–a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before–keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
It's going to be a great week of learning at Hillcrest. Please remember to send hats and gloves/mittens every day. Labeling them makes it easier to return those lost items to the right student.
Happy November to Hillcrest Families.
Thank you to everyone for attending conferences this week. It’s a great time to connect home and school.

The temperatures are dropping and the season is changing. Please remember to send a winter coat with your learner each day. This chart details the requirements for the different temperatures.
When we have snow on the ground, learners MUST have snow pants and snow boots.
If you need help with any winter clothing, please let your teacher know. Also, if you have extra snow pants, winter jackets, or mittens/gloves, we can use them at school.
Learners will be outside as much as possible. We know the fresh air is important and great opportunity to play with friends.
It is a busy week with Parent/Teacher Conferences. We look forward to seeing our families at Hillcrest. The Scholastic Book Fair will be open in the library during conferences, please stop in!
Hillcrest Families: Check out our weekly schedule for October 23-27. We will have some construction deliveries this week. If you have time, take a peek! The structure is changing every day.
