Jennings Family Support Update:
The family currently has the clothing items they need at this time. However, they could still greatly benefit from gift card donations to local restaurants and businesses, as well as monetary donations to help meet other needs.
The family is still working on their housing situation, and as additional needs arise, we will continue to keep you updated.
We also have some good news in regard to the upcoming holiday, stay tuned for more details!
If you have donations for the family, please contact Mrs. Chellbe Ross or Mr. Chris Shockley to facilitate something.
Please keep the Jennings Family in your thoughts and prayers during this tough time. Again, we are so thankful to be a part of such a generous, caring, and thoughtful community. PURPLE CRUSH!

Fifth grade partied all day yesterday, and their teacher only stopped to take a few pictures! Here they are though!




Kindergarten had a great week!!! Our favorite part was today when we received our book, stuffed animal, and blanket gift. We had several people sponsor a child to be able to purchase the book/stuffy and with the leftover donations each child also got a blanket. Thanks to all who donated!! ❤️🎄

Hot Chocolate Annual Tradition Polar Express


Kindergarten has spent the month of December learning all about Holidays Around the World! From fireworks on the beach in Brazil, Advent calendars in Germany, decorating banana tree in India, Hanukkah, and all the other traditions in between we've learned that everyone celebrates the holidays differently! We also made a craft with each country and how to be respectful of all traditions.❤️🎄🎅🏼


It's finally here, our annual Christmas Program is tonight! The show begins at 6:30pm with a visit by Santa directly after! Reminder: there will be no elementary after school this afternoon. Merry Christmas!

Cedar Vale Lions Club hosted their annual 2nd Grade Christmas Party at the Hilltop! Thank you so much! The students love their blankets and we enjoyed our lunch!
