Hillendale families,
I hope you had a great weekend! I apologize for the later than usual message this weekend as I was traveling for a wedding in Cooperstown, New York. I'm sure you were anxiously refreshing your email during the Phillies playoff game this evening awaiting the E-News!
This past Saturday, Mrs. King & Albert did a terrific job representing Hillendale at the UCF Community Fair in the Cow Milking Contest! Although Pocopson Elementary won this year, we are so proud of their teamwork and spirit! Better luck next year, huskies!
This week ahead brings our Book Fair and annual "Donuts With Grown Ups" event this Friday morning. Please see more details about that event below including important information on parking. As a reminder, this is not a "drop off" event. Families that bring their child must plan to stay until 8:50 AM. We are excited to see you Friday morning!
The Pennsylvania Friends of Agriculture Mobile Lab will be visiting Hillendale during the week of October 14th to welcome each homeroom for a hands on science lesson. If you are interested in volunteering with us that week, please see our sign up link in the PTO section below. The form lists which classes will be in the lab on which days/times. Thank you in advance for considering as this is a really special, grant funded opportunity!
We will have a Phillies Spirit Day for Game 3 of the NLDS! Students are invited to wear red or Phillies gear with our staff.
Have a great week and go Phillies!
Joshua Leight
Hillendale Elementary Principal
Please be sure to return your child's book fair envelope
(that came home with the Scholastic flyer) to their teacher.
Also, there are still some volunteer slots available. Sign up here
We are looking forward to seeing parents and students enjoying donuts and shopping at the book fair on Friday! As a reminder, this is not a "drop off" event. Families that bring their child must plan to stay until 8:50 AM. Linked here is a "Donuts for Grown Ups" food ingredients list for interested families.
To help everything run smoothly and not disrupt bus drop off and staff parking, please see below map and park in designated spaces for Donuts with Grownups.
Thank you!
🐾Volunteer During Library Class
Are you interested in helping during your child's 1st-5th grade library class? Library volunteers will help our Librarian check-in books as the children drop them off, put them back on the shelves, help kids to select books, and finally to check-out the new books.
We are doing a trial run of our new sign-up system from October 7th until Winter Break. Please review the expectations for volunteering before signing up.
Send any concerns or issues to Janette Grieb at janettepgrieb@gmail.com
🐾Volunteer with the Agriculture Traveling Lab
This year during the week of October 14th, we have the great opportunity to host the Agriculture Traveling Lab. This is a hands-on scientific method exploration for all grade levels. We would love some parent volunteers for the week! The Ag Lab asks for one AM parent volunteer and one PM parent volunteer for each day.
The Husky Hustle has a new format this year. This year the event will be held during the day on November 4th. All students will participate at no cost, and parents and guests are welcome to attend to watch and cheer on their Huskies!
Sponsors Wanted! Sponsor the Husky Hustle, and your business will be on the back of the event t-shirt that all Hillendale students will receive. Contact heptopresident@gmail.com for more info
