4 seniors dressed up as the Founding Fathers. They used a cardboard cutout of Mount Rushmore to add to the creativity of their costume.
Halloween at Hackley was celebrated on October 29th, 2021 with a day full of festivities.
Students showed up to school wearing their costumes, with costumes ranging from a vending machine to the Ghostbusters to students dressing up as Mr. Wirtz and Mr. Cice.
Community Council held a costume contest in the Upper School and gave out awards to the funniest, best group, and most creative costumes.
The annual Lower School Parade returned this year to full form with parents allowed on campus under the auspices of the visitor policy. Lower school students and teachers showcased their costumes as they walked Akin Common to an audience of many Middle and Upper School students and teachers who showed their support for the younger students.
![Although the affect of COVID-19 has been on a decline with less cases and deaths allowing most of us to remain mask free, people on the Hilltop are still choosing to mask up. Personal health concerns as well as helping an elderly neighbor are reasons as to why middle school science teacher Emma Olsen still wears a mask years after the COVID-19 pandemic began. Since I am helping take care of him, you know I go over to work with his dogs, that kind of thing; I dont want to bring [the virus] home to him, Ms. Olsen said.](https://hsdial.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_1713-450x600.jpg)
