Hornet Country,
I hope this message finds you all safe and warm after a long week of snow, cold, and power outages. I've heard it said several times lately, "I'm getting a little tired of living through historic events". The cold we experienced this last week will certainly go down in the history books! We have a lot going on here on The Hill and I hope this newsletter provides you some useful information.
Sincerely,
Rob Kroll
Hillcrest Principal
