Hillendale families,

I hope you are having a great weekend!

Thank you to the many parents who helped create a magical evening in Mr. Lemoncello's Library this past Friday for our third graders! A ton of work goes into a night like that - we appreciate all of you!

A special plug for our Spring PTO Adult Fundraiser "Parents Night Out" coming up soon on April 4th. Please see more details below including graphics created by the students in Mrs. Blaisse's Graphic Design Club! The annual event is truly one of my favorite nights of the year!
