ALL Lost and Found items will be given away or donated to charity on the Monday after Spring Break (March 19th) at 3:00. If your family needs coats, you can have whatever you want (up to 5 items per family) at 3:00 on Monday. At 3:15, all remaining items will be bagged up and given to charity.
School pictures are scheduled for Wednesday, March 21st. Please mark your calendars!
The ordering process works like this in the Spring:
Send students to school looking good!
Send NO money now.
Students will get their picture taken.
A portrait package will be sent home with the student a few weeks after the pictures.
You keep the whole sheets of your choice, according to the order form and send back the unwanted sheets along with your payment for what you keep.
There is no makeup day for these pictures.
This is a great fundraiser for our school as we receive a portion of the earnings. Thank you for participating!

We have about 20 puffy coats in Lost and Found and (SPOILER ALERT) I’m pretty sure the kids will not need them again until next December. They are making my beautiful Lost and Found miserably stuffed and crowded. These pictures are JUST of the puffy coats. Oh, and there are WAY too many water bottles, hats and scarves.
I am offering a $1 REWARD to any parent who comes to Lost and Found and claims their child’s puffy jacket. PLEASE come and get these. I’m drowning in them.
LOST AND FOUND DONATED: ALL Lost and Found items will be given away or donated to charity on the Monday after Spring Break (March 19th) at 3:00. If your family needs coats, you can have whatever you want (up to 5 items per family) at 3:00 on Monday. At 3:15, all remaining items will be bagged up and given to charity.
Final Deep Thought: If all items were labeled, there would be NOTHING in Lost and Found. I am willing to return them all to your kids. You just have to write their first and last name on them. Please label their springtime jackets, lunchboxes, and water bottles.

Dear Parents,
This Spring, Hill Elementary students in grades 2-5 will have the opportunity to participate in a University Interscholastic League (UIL) Meet with other students from across the Austin Independent School District. The purpose is to provide elementary students the opportunity to academically compete with their AISD peers in a fun, supportive environment!
Students have the opportunity to choose which events they would like to participate in from the attached list. Students will be given study packets for practice. Each event can have up to 5 student competitors in each grade level participating. If Hill has more than 5 student competitors interested, then we will have grade level meets to secure the 5 finalists. Because of the large number of schools participating, we are now limiting the number of events per student to 3 events maximum.
Then, on April 21, 2018, students will participate in the North AISD UIL Academic Meet. The school site for the meet is still undetermined. On this day, students will compete in their selected events, have a pizza lunch, and participate in a free 45- minute Mad Science presentation. This will be a fun day for all! I will be looking for parent volunteers to help, please let me know if you’re interested in volunteering on this day in April.
Please review the listed events with your child and fill out the attached student interest form. Once students have shown their interest in competing in an event, I will meet with them to handout study materials. I will meet with the students once in March and April to review their progress, practice the event and answer any questions they might have. It is very important that if a child chooses to participate that the parent practice the event’s activities with the child at home in preparation for the meet.
I will be happy to answer any questions that you might have about this event at that time. Also, I am looking for parent volunteers to meet with groups of students participating in this event to help them prepare. Please let me know if you are interested in being a group coach. It is very fun and rewarding! Finally, I will need at least 5 parents to commit to be judges at the Meet in April.
Thank you for your support and I look forward to Hill being well represented at the UIL Meet in May! Please return the attached form to Beth Newton by Wednesday, February 28, 2018.

Sincerely,
Beth Newton
