Are you looking for a way to help our school but don’t have a lot of time? We have the opportunity for you! The Dillo Card program offers an opportunity to raise money for our school at no cost to you and practically no effort. Just enroll in the Dillo card subscription program and purchase ecards to Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Randall’s, and Walmart (hopefully returning soon HEB!) Once a month your account will be debited for the face value of the card and an ecard will arrive in your box. Then just shop with the card as you normally would. Click here for the Dillo Card Enrollment Form.
Wondering how the PTA benefits? We participate in programs that allow us to purchase the cards at a discount so the difference between our cost and the face values goes to support our school!
Completely contactless! Questions: Contact dillocards@hillelementary.com
Note: Due to Covid limitations we are currently only offering ecard subscriptions but hope to bring back HEB physical cards soon!
Welcome Back Dillos! The Hill Elementary School Garden is gearing up for the fall season and
would like more Dillos to join us. Working in the garden this school year will operate a little bit differently than before and undoubtedly there will be changes along the way as we adapt. But that is the life of a gardener, to adapt.
For the 2020-2021 school year, we will be opening the Hill School Garden for Hill families to manage their own raised bed. This is a great opportunity to get outside after being cooped up at home for the day! A few community beds will remain if helping there is more your style. If your family is interested, please sign up here.
