Teacher Appreciation Week Success!

Teacher and Staff Appreciation was a huge success! Hillside PTA would like to thank everyone who donated their time for meal set ups, car pool take over, and recess takeover as well as all of our members whose donations through membership helped fund Teacher and Staff Appreciation week. We wouldn’t have been able to treat our teachers and staff without all of your time and support. Special thanks to the amazing committee who organized the whole week, Kristen Minnis, Laura Beth Harward, and Tatiana Travis!

 

We would also like to thank ALL of our sponsors and local businesses who helped make Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week a success this year. The following businesses donated gift cards and/or food to help our teachers feel appreciated and supported:

Book Fair

There are two days left at the Hillside Book Fair!

  • The easiest way for your student to shop is to set up an eWallet, a safe and secure alternative to cash. Simply create a free account to add funds and/or invite family and friends to contribute so your child can select their own books. Any unused funds can be spent at The Scholastic Store Online or to fund a future eWallet.
  • If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. Your online orders will also benefit our school.

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:
