On behalf of the American Heart Association, thank you very much for raising *$4,838.28 with Hillside's recent Kids Heart Challenge /American Heart Challenge program.
Families and schools are critical links in providing the foundation for cardiovascular wellness in our country. Your support and participation in the Kids Heart Challenge/American Heart Challenge makes a tremendous impact in helping millions of Americans through increased awareness of cardiovascular disease, lifesaving scientific research and critically needed education efforts.
The American Heart Association’s grant program offers participating schools grants of $250 up to $2,500 for health and wellness initiatives including physical activity equipment. Eligibility requirements can be found here.
Additionally, we offer monthly Learning Series webinars for educators, which may qualify for professional development hours. You can view all our school and teacher benefits that we offer.

PBiS Particulars
We are a PBiS school! PBiS stands for Positive Behavior Support and Intervention. PBiS does more than just recognize those students who are doing the right thing. PBiS can also help students who need to develop the skills necessary to be successful in school. As a team, we develop and refine plans for students who need a visual, a structure, feedback, and rewards to develop the skills of positive behavior.
We work on a Skill of the Week every week as a school. Look below for next week's skill!
