Mr. Hiti's Message
Our Big Friendly Fundraiser (BFF) takes place tomorrow night at Mauer Chevrolet at 7 p.m. I hope you can join the Friendly Hills community at this fun event. It is not only an opportunity to help support our school and our fabulous PTA, it is a great chance for you to meet new people that have students who attend Friendly Hills Middle School. This is our only fundraiser of the year, and it supports many different activities, projects, and items that teachers and students use on a regular basis! I hope to see you there, there are a lot of awesome items to bid on.

Seeking Volunteers for the BFF
The planning team is doing an amazing job putting together the details for the BFF! Now we need some help making it all happen that day. Have some time before the auction? Sign up to help with set up. Many hands make light work and the shifts sometimes end early if enough people come to help. If you plan to attend, there are spots to help during the event.
Aren't able to attend or have commitments during the day? We're also looking for wine donations! Ways to help and sign-up can be found here.
