✍️📧In the weeks leading up to the PSSAs, students in 7th and 8th grade are competing in classroom challenges to cover important information covered on the test. On Wednesday, Ms. Wolf's 8th graders competed in a grammar review challenge that required students to fix common grammar and formatting mistakes in an example email. Students then relayed to the office with a special pass to receive the response email from administrative assistants.
Way to go, 8th grade—proof that learning can be both fun and fast-paced! 💪 📚✨

📣 Last week at The Hill, we hosted an incredible Career Fair! 💼✨
Students had the opportunity to explore a wide range of career paths, connect with local professionals, and gain valuable insight into their futures.
A huge thank you to all the organizations and presenters who took the time to invest in our students—your presence made a lasting impact! 👏
Unfair advantages? On purpose! Ms. Selander’s class had a blast with some playful competitions where the odds weren’t exactly even. One team tossed balls into a huge bowl 🥣, while the other aimed for a tiny cup . Then came the M&M challenge —clear cups for some, mystery opaque ones for others! These creative games got students thinking about perspective and fairness as they gear up to read The Outsiders 📖🔥
Bravo to our incredible theatre crew for their outstanding performance of Lucky Stiff last week! 🎭✨ From the talented cast and pit band to the hardworking crew behind the scenes, your dedication and creativity made for an unforgettable show. Thank you for bringing this musical comedy to life! 👏🎶
Did you know? 🎉 Columbia Hill Campus uses the PBIS system? This is a schoolwide management system that helps us reinforce positive behavior!
PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a framework that promotes a positive school culture by setting clear expectations, recognizing and acknowledging expected behavior, and providing support when needed. Through PBIS, we celebrate students who demonstrate behaviors that are:
✅ Respectful
✅ Responsible
✅ Safe
Today, we celebrated our amazing students with a PBIS Carnival —featuring games, face painting, and even a dunk tank! 🌟 Thank you to our many students who continue to make positive choices every day, making our school a great place to be!
🚨 Reminder! 🚨 Lucky Stiff is just days away! 🎭✨
Based on the novel The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Michael Butterworth, Lucky Stiff is an offbeat, hilarious murder mystery farce—complete with mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds, and a corpse in a wheelchair! 💎🕵️♂️
