Safari Night is Coming March 6
[note date change to March 6th so it doesn't conflict with the CCPPNS conference which is on the 12-13th of March]
Mark your calendars as your kids will not want to miss this fun night and important fund-raiser for the school! Safari Night will be held Saturday night March 6th from 4:30pm to 8:00pm.
During Safari Night, you'll drop your child off at Hilltop for the evening while you go out to dinner. Or go shopping. Or just relax in the quiet. Meanwhile, your child will play with friends, have a delicious dinner, and prepare for the main event: the Big Safari Hunt!
After dark, flashlights in hand, the intrepid Safari Hunters will search the Hilltop play yard for stuffed animals lurking about and take home their bounty. After the yard is picked clean, they'll get ready for bed (Yes! Including teeth brushed!) and have a Safari-themed bedtime story.
Children need to be ages 2 through 6 to participate. The cost is $35 for the first child and $25 for each additional child.
We will need a minimum of six parents to work this event in order to maintain a 5 to 1 ratio. Working this event is a fun and easy way to earn Ways & Means hours for the year. In addition to earning your Ways & Means hours, children of parents working the event will be half-price.
A sign-up sheet for parents who want to work the event and earn Ways & Means hours is posted at Hilltop, as well as sign-ups for children. But don't delay! Last year we sold out all the available slots. Also, please start collecting stuffed animals for our safari hunt! A basket will be available at Hilltop soon to drop off your cuddly donations!

take this month to explore and understand love. We will talk about love and the ways we express our love to our families, friends and maybe even pets. Some projects ideas are to explore, writing letters, cards and mailing. This year we will be providing opportunities in the classroom for children to create meaningful expressions of their love so Valentines will not be necessary.
Tomorrow" and will be held on Friday and Saturday March 12th and 13th at the LAX Sheraton. 
Throughout December and January we have had many projects going on in the classroom. We have developed a fascination with salt and salt crystals which evolved from a mistake of putting rocks mixed with salt rocks in our empty fish tank. In this happy misstep we have had opportunity not only to explore concepts such as evaporation, saturation and crystallization – we have been able to predict, hypothesize and re-evaluate from our findings. We have touched each other and excited each other with wonder and discovery.
to the co-op classroom beginning February 16th. The co-op Music Together class will be held every Tuesday and Wednesday from 12:15pm to 12:55pm. (Pre-K will continue to have music on Thursdays at 9:30am)
