A sign posted in the kitchen as a reminder to Grandma, who didn't really need reminding of many things, noted in yearly birthday cards and recollection of my favorite athlete and what books I was reading in grade school. But a small play on my Grandmother's reminder has greatly changed the outlook I have for practice. Practice patiently? This week's Principal's Desk is a response from Marketing Director Wayne Stender following a chapel presentation by Mr. Isaac this week. We invite you to check out the blog and watch a short video from some of the apologists Wayne has been following.

We have tried to capture a few of these memorable moments in the My Hillcrest Academy Highlights series.  This week you can follow game-day with Abbe and Zoey. Abbe will take you through her pre-game happenings as the Lady Comets faced-off against Battle Lake last week. Zoey will walk you through some prep-work the Cheerleaders focus on in their effort to lead HLA in support for Comet Basketball. These videos and more are posted on Hillcrest's Video Blog.
