Hello, Hillside Families!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and long weekend with your children!
The PTA's annual Coat Drive begins on Monday and runs through Friday, December 9. A collection box will be placed at door 9 (the Kindergarten/Pillar door). Additional information can be found in this flyer. Thank you, in advance, for your support!
Picture Make-up/Group Day is this Thursday, December 1. Students wishing to re-take photos from the first picture day should come to school with original photos and a smile! Students new to Hillside since the last picture day will also take photos on this day, as will the various student groups, including band, orchestra, and chorus. The fifth grade class will also take its class photo that day, wearing their new sweatshirts, which have been purchased and delivered, courtesy of the Hillside PTA and Fifth Grade Committee, and will be distributed on Thursday.
The week of December 5 is Computer Science Education Week. It has been a few years since Hillside has observed the week, but I am happy to announce that we will observe this year by participating in a variety of coding activities. Buddy classes will partner up to select activities from a menu, courtesy of Mrs. Mercado, our school's technology coach. Special thanks to Mrs. Mercado for her efforts in coordinating the week's activities. Additional information can be found here. Please note that there is a district family night of code scheduled for December 7 at Harrison School; additional information is forthcoming. Thank you!
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful week!
Best regards,
Mr. Gramata
