Hillside News Brief

Welcome back to Hillside for semester II! It has been great to be back in the swing of things, and the students have been doing very well remembering our school rules and expectations. The next few months will be full of lots of fun and lots of learning. Our Fiction Fridays in the library continue, starting around 8:15 a.m. Someone will read a wonderful book aloud every Friday to students who care to join us in the library. There’s lots going on a Hillside, so watch the Hillside event calendar to see what’s going on!
