Another successful year at the Hill. Although our numbers were small our determination and heart were huge. Many thanks go out to all the wrestlers for attending the practices and representing Hillcrest with pride and respect. Next year’s team looks bigger and better but it’s sad to see a few of our successful wrestlers leaving on their next adventure. We hope the best and look forward to watching our younger wrerstlers show their skills next year.

Simcoe County Schools Support Children’s Mental Health Week 2012
During the week of May 6-12, 2012, we will be celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week 2012 by dedicating our Daily Physical Activity (DPA) time to “Walk for Children’s Mental Health”.

Children’s Mental Health Week 2012 is celebrated throughout Ontario, across Canada and around North America.
The message is clear:

- One in five youth in Ontario struggle with mental health issues
- Treatment interventions work, especially when provided early
- Programs and services are available to support children, youth and their families

For more information and material on children’s mental health please contact the following website http://www.kidsmentalhealth.ca/ or the school office. Together we can develop healthy minds, healthy kids, and healthy communities.

The Simcoe County Museum hosted its 10th annual Regional Heritage Fair on April 25th. There were about 100 entries from three different school boards that attended the fair, proudly displaying their historically based projects. The fair was also a chance for Caetan, Emma and Andres to explore a variety of interests that helped shape the Canada we know today. Caetan’s project on Jack Layton and Andres’ project on the history of Prince of Wales Public School captured top honours in their respective categories. Emma’s project on the mining town of Creighton Ontario earned her a spot at the Ontario History Fair in Toronto at the end of May. Congratulations to all three Tigers!
