Hillcrest Elementary

This Wednesday, October 4, is "Walk to School with the Orediggers" day as each elementary in student in town will have the chance to get to know Montana Tech's fine student-athletes up close and personal as they meet at different drop-off points and walk to school together. All students will be given a t-shirt courtesy of the Montana Tech Foundation, the Montana Tech Mining Engineering Department and Horizon Credit Union.

Fall is definitely in the air. With that comes plenty of autumn festivals, sporting events, family gatherings, corn mazes, pumpkin patches and traditional outings such as the Hillcrest Harvest Bazaar. This event has been a Butte tradition for years, and is set to take place, Saturday, October 22nd at the Butte Plaza Mall. Originated 46 years ago, the Hillcrest Harvest Bazaar is a fundraiser for the Hillcrest School Association. Similar to recent years, the Bazaar is set to display for purchase, incredible arts and crafts created by a wide range of participants. Per organizers, the event would not be possible without the help of so many local volunteers who care about the future of Hillcrest Elementary School, plus the children and parents of the community.
