PRINCIPAL's THOUGHTS
Dear Page Hilltop Families:
The strength of our school community comes from a strong partnership between school and home! Mr. Lutinski and I greatly appreciate the involvement of our parents - volunteering, supporting school projects, and providing ideas & questions that generate new actions.
Please join us this Thursday (7:00 pm) for our next PTO meeting!!
- You will have an opportunity to participate in a special presentation on school safety from the Ayer Police Department and ask any questions you may have.
- All children will enjoy a visit from our friends at "Animal Adventures".
- There will be special raffle contests held with prizes for students and parents.
- We will be sharing information and ideas for future events & activities. We value your input regarding which special events you would like our school & PTO to host!
Please join us for an hour on Thursday. We would love to see many of you in attendance!
Thanks, as always, for sharing your children with us!
Fred Deppe, Principal
Matt Lutinski, Assistant Principal
