A Message from Our Principal
I’m thrilled to kick off the 2024-2025 school year with all of you! Our shared commitment to placing our students at the heart of everything we do makes our school and the Tesoro Viejo community truly special. This year, our Parent Teacher Club has many exciting activities planned that will raise funds to enhance our students' experiences, including field trips and STEM initiatives in the classroom. Together, we can ensure a year filled with growth, learning, and joy for our kids.
Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
Meet the Hillside PTC Board
President - Hollie Vogel
It's a new year and a new PTC board role for me. This year I will be serving as President of the Hillside PTC. I have one 7 year old son in second grade at Hillside. Last year I served on the PTC Board as the Event Coordinator and it was so much fun! We were able to raise a lot of funds for the school and host some really memorable events for Students and their Families too. I am looking forward to this year and seeing the PTC grow and flourish even more. We love this community and supporting our local school. Hope to see you at the next PTC meeting!

Ways the Hillside PTC is making the student experience even better!
-For the first Day of school PTC worked with a Hillside parent who donated the most beautiful balloon backdrop. It was a fun addition to take pictures with and full of bright cheerful colors.
-New additional Seating and Coverings have been purchased and are on the way! Students will soon have more shaded areas and places to sit. Also, outside the office the white chairs will be replaced with new benches. More to come on this in the next newsletter edition.
