The annual AHS Trojan Choir Caroling event is Friday, December 14 from 6:30-8:30pm. This fun tradition matches groups of student singers with local residents to share the music of the holidays, caroling style. Our carolers will come to your home to sing for you and your family or you can make a donation on behalf of a neighbor and send our caroling as a gift! Our groups also make great surprise entertainment at holiday parties! Choir members will ‘pass the hat’ for donations to this award winning music program and collect canned good for the Central Texas Food Bank. Register for a visit from AHS Carolers or make an online donation at https://www.trojanchoir.com/caroling
Boys and Girls welcome.

5 Ways To Stay Healthy This Winter!!
- Get Immunized: It’s not too late to get your flu vaccine. Particularly important if you are spending time with elderly or young children this holiday season.
- Wash Your Hands: Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
- Cover Your Cough Or Sneeze: Help teach your kids to cough and sneeze into their elbow instead of hand. This helps prevent the spread of germs.
- Avoid Touching Your Face: Germs are spread when a person touches something contaminated them touches their eyes, nose or mouth. The flu virus can live on surfaces for up to 24 hours.
- Stay Home If You Are Sick: This helps prevent spreading your illness to others. Do not return to work or school until fever free for 24 hours without medication.

Been hearing about “Buy-In” Parties? Hoopla is our annual fundraiser. This year’s theme is Armadillo Casino and is being held February 8th at the Austin Board of Realtors. There will be actual casino tables, auction items and buy in parties.
What are “buy-in” parties exactly?
A buy-in party is an event hosted by Hill parents that others can “buy into” and all the proceeds go directly to our school. They are the TOP auction items at Hill Hoopla. These events can be for kids or adults and it’s a great way to meet other Hill families. Grab some friends (ideally four or less to encourage more participation) and plan a party together!
How many parties do we need?
We like to have at least two parties per grade level, a boy party and girl party. We have some amazing grade level parties already set up…..swim parties, popsicles and water balloons, Pop Warner cheer clinic!
Don’t forget the adults!!! Adult buy-ins are always a hit! Some examples are Fiesta de Dillos, Alamo Drafthouse ladies night, Weekend Camping Getaways!
Do you have a great idea for a party and want to host? Need some help connecting with people in your grade level to host? Please email Sarah Newton at Sarah_newton@hotmail.com or Beth Reynolds at beth.reynolds@austinisd.org.
