Nate Watkins, Brendan Kopp, Drew Donahue, Will Foley, Rivers Putnam, Jackson Kercheville, Ben Waisman, Austin Pawlik, Avani Ganne, Kai Kawakami-Lynd, Aldabara Klautau and Aarav Ruia were chosen from 5th grade. Congratulations to our amazing Dillo scientists!
It may not feel like it now but those 100 degree days are coming. Now is the time to get your very own Hill koozie. It keeps your water cold and shows you have amazing school spirit. All proceeds support the 5th grade heritage gift back to the school, graduation party, and any left over money we gift to the PTA!
This year’s heritage gift is a stage the 5th grade would like to have built for the playground to encourage student led activities and an opportunity for outdoor classroom presentations when possible. Additionally, any money that goes to the PTA supplements educational programs and activities for all Hill students, which in turn makes us an amazing school!
Tea Collection (www.teacollection.com) is offering Hill an amazing fundraiser and chance to purchase clothes at 15% off + Free Shipping and Hill will get 15% of the sales!
Here’s how it works:

Melinda Anderson is our PTA Parliamentarian this year. She has three lovely children: Layla (7th grade), River (4th grade), and Juliet (3rd grade). Melinda helps keep PTA meetings on track, makes sure bylaws are checked and followed when needed, and checks all bank statements each month. This is Melinda’s third year on the board. She was the treasurer during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years too! She has put in countless hours over MANY years for Hill. We are so grateful for Melinda’s dedication to Hill Elementary.
