HV Update 1-3-25

A message from your principal, Mrs. Stager

Dear HV Families,

The short week was a nice way to get back in the groove of things. There is a lot happening the remainder of this month.

The mural project started today and progress has already been made! The artist has started painting and is going to begin outlining the mural on Monday. We need parents to help paint the background and prepare for the students' sessions. If you can, please consider helping out. The sign-up genius information can be found below. There is also information regarding the Read-a-Thon in the HSA section.

Stay warm this weekend and we'll see you back at HV on Monday!

Best,

Allison

Valentine's Day

Yes, it's not quite February, yet there are already Valentines displays out in stores. Here is Valentine's Day information for your planning purposes.

On Valentine's Day, the teachers will facilitate classroom celebrations and will work with class parents to coordinate. We kindly ask that if you choose to send in Valentines, one is sent for each student in the class. Please do not send in Valentines that contain food, goody bags, or party favors. They will not be distributed. Amazon has a wide selection of paper Valentines. Teachers are working with class parents to provide allergy friendly snacks during the celebrations. We appreciate your cooperation!

Read-A-Thon

Hello Hillview Families,

We are excited to announce our first ever Read-a-thon starting Monday 1/6 and running until 1/24.

Parents, you will receive an email Monday 1/6 with your child’s fundraising page information. There will be chances to win prizes and every participant will earn a small prize. Some top prizes will include librarian for a day, a Bookwormy home visit, and a gift certificate to Dave & Busters.

NOW FOR THE EXCITING PART….

If we meet our school-wide goal Mrs. Munro will be SLIMED in front of the whole school!!!

We are fundraising through the Read-a-thon for an outdoor reading garden outside the library, soft seating for the Media Center, and new books as well! Profits from this will go to these new, fun additions to Hillview.

Thank you and time to level up our reading!

Do you own a small business, but not sure what your role could be? Even as a small business, a contribution would be greatly appreciated! Own a landscaping company? Possibly donate a fall cleanup or have a cookie business - maybe donate a certificate for 25 custom made cookies to compliment someone's event they host. The possibilities are endless and we would love to discuss them with you! Please reach out for more information.
