Hillcrest Academy has been blessed over the years with truly remarkable support from their Alumni and Friends. The Alumni Relations office has been busy this year trying to connect with all of the supporters of the school. One of the connection activities came about by way of a formal banquet honoring the supporters of Hillcrest's Giving Clubs.
The clubs are an introductory program for Hillcrest supporters to join in the cause of Biblical training at Hillcrest. The various clubs boast 200 members with the goal of adding approx. 100 more by the May Graduation weekend in 2010.
The Banquet was replete with Christmas decorations and a focal point placed on the humble humanity Jesus Christ wore, which we recognize at Christmas. Club members were honored despite their club status and were given a chance to interact with the school through a short program with Christmas songs and a video of current students.
The video department at Hillcrest has been documenting the school year with a series of videos for parents titled, "Hillcrest Weekly Updates". A compilation of these updates can be viewed below.
It has been an amazing semester at Hillcrest Academy. Here is a compilation of the events that have taken place over the past few months. For a DVD of all the videos from the semester please email Wayne Stender. Students can sign up in the STU with David. The cost for the DVD is $10. Merry Christmas!!!!
