Readathon Success! 🎉

A huge shoutout to Kindergarten – Mrs. Grenko’s class for raising the most funds with $1,920, and to 5th grade for reading a whopping 22,398 minutes!
Thank you to everyone who participated and supported our love for reading!
A huge thank you to Sabrina for running this year's Penny Wars!
We raised a total of $2,249.47 that went directly to the playground fund! The winning grade was Kindergarten! Congrats and thank you to all who participated in this event!
We need to raise $200,000 for our school! Here is why this is not a remodel or updating project. This is not an upgrading project; the playground will be removed to make room for a new building.
The current footprint where the Hillcrest playground is located will be used for a new Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District building. An upcoming building project at the Chippewa High School will begin spring of 2026 requiring the removal of the majority of the current playground.
If Hillcrest Elementary wants to have a quality, accessible playground for the 2025-26 school year, we need to raise the money now. Donations of any size will make this goal happen!
