From the Principal
From the PTO
Hillendale families,
I hope you're having a “super” weekend! Below find a few Valentine’s Day Reminders and the unveiling of our “Parent’s Night Out” (March 15th) in our PTO Section!
Valentine's Day Reminders:
We are excited to celebrate Valentines Day at Hillendale! Students are welcome (but not required) to bring valentines to school as long as students have a valentine for each child in their class and as long as no edible treats are included. Individual teachers and grade levels may make more specific requests. We hope your huskies enjoy this tradition! For Valentine's Day parties upcoming (and for all parties throughout the school year) we ask that parents refrain from bringing siblings. Please reach out to our office if you have specific questions. We appreciate your understanding!
School is closed this Friday (2/16) and Monday (2/19). Have a great President’s Day weekend!
Have a great week!
Joshua Leight
Hillendale Elementary Principal

Parent's Night Out
Hillendale Elementary School PTO’s adult only Parents Night Out event will be held at Mt. Cuba Center on March 15, 2024 from 6:30-9:30pm. Dinner, music and cash bar including beer, wine, and canned cocktails will be available. Tickets are $50/person. Casual attire recommended.
This is the event of the year and LIMITED tickets are available! Due to space restrictions, once we are sold out, we cannot add more tickets.
The PTO is raising money to update the playground areas. The online silent auction will start Friday, March 8th at 10:00am and end Friday, March 15th at 9:00pm. We have gathered unique items from our community and many local businesses for you to bid on. We also have a few priceless items and experiences as well as teacher experiences. There is something for everyone! All items will be displayed at the Parents Night Out event at Mt. Cuba Center on March 15th.
Hillendale families, alumni, and friends of Hillendale are welcome to join in the fun!
Sponsorship is available this year. $250 includes 2 tickets to the Parents Night Out, logo on the auction website, signage at the event, and shout out at the auction by Principal Leight.
No babysitter? No problem! The PTO coordinated with the Unionville High School, and they are offering babysitting through their Uthon fundraiser. Uthon babysitting will be at Unionville High School from 6:00pm-10:00pm.
If you cannot make the event, you can continue to bid online from wherever you are. Feel free to share the auction link with family and friends.
Thank you for your support!
