From the Principal
Hillendale families,
I hope you had a great weekend! It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Centennial Gala Saturday evening! We truly appreciate your support of the Ed Foundation and all things UCFSD!
Thank you so much for your support of and participation in our Solar Eclipse Viewing Party this past Monday! Even if it was a bit cloudy, I bet our huskies will remember it for many years to come. I know I will!
As we conclude the week with our annual Student Wellness Day and prepare for the PSSA starting next week, please feel free to reach out to me if you or your family needs anything or has any questions. No special lunch is required for Student Wellness Day; children will eat in the cafeteria and may pack or buy their lunch.
As a reminder, school is closed on Tuesday, April 23rd.
Have a great week!
Josh Leight
Hillendale Elementary Principal
