Our 15th annual International Family Fun Night will be held on Friday, March 24th from 6:00-7:30 pm. As we prepare for this event, we would like to know if you would be interested in participating in an evening of cultural food, music, and dancing.  We are looking for families to prepare food samples to share with our "tourists" traveling around the world. The PTA will supply sample cups, napkins and cutlery if needed! Just bring your food and serve!

We are also looking for families who own traditional dress representative of a country/culture to participate in a fashion show.

Are you interested in performing that evening? We need you!

Sign up today!  

Questions, reach out to Tara at tarafletbar@yahoo.com

There will be bins outside the front doors of the school for drop off.  Please drop items off by noon on Friday, March 3rd.

Students will receive a math sheet to complete while walking around the store and will get a small prize when they are done.

*Please note, a parent or guardian must stay. This is not a drop off event.*

Sunshine Smiles Dentistry is a local dentist in Roswell, Georgia. February is National Children's Dental Health Month. As part of promoting the benefits of good oral health to children our dentist, Dr. Suvidha Sachdeva, donated an oral health kit to Hillside elementary school in Roswell.

Here are some tips to reduce the risk of tooth decay in children:

• Monitor beverage consumption – Children should make healthy beverage choices such as water and low-fat milk.
• Help develop good brushing and flossing habits in children.
• Schedule regular dental visits.
• Limit between-meal snacks. If kids crave a snack, offer them nutritious foods.
• Sugary foods and drinks should be consumed with meals. Saliva production increases during meals and helps neutralize acid production and rinse food particles from the mouth.
