Husky E-News
December 3, 2023
From the Principal
Hillendale families,
There is nothing quite like December in an elementary school! Even with only one school day in December "in the books" so far, the excitement throughout our halls is already contagious. We hope that you can join the fun at our Holiday Shop this Thursday & Friday or at our Winter Concerts next week. See more details about both events below and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
As a reminder, school is closed for winter break from December 25th - January 1st.
Have a great week!
Joshua Leight
Hillendale Elementary Principal
