All staff and students are encouraged to wear their Leopard gear every Friday and show their school spirit! GO Leps!

This year’s focus at Hilton Elementary School is going to around how KINDNESS can be the Norm. Throughout the year we will be using a resource called Kindness in the Classroom® to help our students think about, develop, and practice positive social skills. Research tells us that children who learn and use these skills are more likely to get along with others and do better in school.

The Zillah School Board approved Mrs. Gregory’s proposal to use a dog in the classroom as a reading incentive. Oliver, her yellow Labrador retriever, was granted permission to visit her classroom to listen to students read. Ollie will be visiting the room 1-2 times a month for the remainder of the school year.

Mrs. Gregory previously had a dog in the classroom from 2003-2014. The program was a huge success!

Oliver has completed a vast amount of training and temperament testing. He is a certified Love on a Leash Therapy dog. He has already volunteered in several senior living facilities throughout the Yakima Area. He loves working and bringing a smile to others. Welcome to Hilton Ollie!
