Ladies of Distinction

The Ladies of Distinction leadership program is designed to equip 3rd-5th grade girls with character that will enable them to be successful in the 21st century. Various community leaders are invited to speak to the group to share their knowledge about leadership.

Safety Patrol

Safety patrol is a very selective group of 4th and 5th grade students who are leaders and role models. They are selected by a group of teachers and Ms. Sollers. The Safety Patrol members work to keep the Hillpoint student body safe by monitoring hallways at dismissal times.

Talented Art

Talented Art is an elite group of student artists. Students are given a test in 3rd/4th grade, and based on their score, they may be asked to turn in a portfolio of artwork. Their art is evaluated and their combined scores will determine if they are invited to join Talented Art. The students meet once a week in the art room and get to work on special and more advanced projects. They also go on two field trips a year, one downtown to paint holiday windows and then one to the Suffolk Art Museum.

Talented Music

Talented Music is a group of select 4th and 5th grade students. A test is given in the spring to identify students that meet this gifted criteria. This group meets once a week to learn the recorder, sing songs, and are taught about various aspects of music history and composers. Each spring, they perform with about 250 students from other schools at the evening STARS concert.
