Hillcrest Update
Principal Steve Brue

It was nice to see the sun shine through the clouds today after cloudy and wet weather these past few days.  We needed the rain, but its always nice to see the sun again!

Students look forward to our annual outing to Valley Fair amusement park in Shakopee, MN on Saturday, September 27th.  We have a good group of chaperones in place and expect this to be a great event for the kids.  Between school work, activities, and sporting events, everyone seems to be busy these days.  The Student Council has informed all students of some fun plans for Homecoming week.  We hope that out-of-town families will be able to join for some of these events, October 2-5.   A Parent-Teacher Fellowship is planned for Saturday morning, Oct. 4th (10:15 a.m.-12noon).  Parents will meet the instructors of their child as they go through a very condensed school day schedule.

The 4-week progress report was sent yesterday to parents of enrolled students.  The next report comes at the end of October as the first quarter draws to a close.

The Hillcrest Board of Directors met on the HLA campus last Thursday and Friday.  They have directed that our building campaign have 2.3 million dollars in cash and pledges by January, 2004 in order for bids to go out on construction of the multi-purpose facility.  Accomplishing this will ensure that the building will be ready by Graduation of 2005.  We are moving forward in boldness and faith.

We trust God's Word in Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Have a blessed weekend.
