Dash Needs your Help

The Carnival is fast approaching. Help make carnival a success by sponsoring booths!

Most of our attractions are still looking for sponsors. Local business owners and professionals: these attractions are a great way for your business to show its support for Hill, and give your business exposure to hundreds of local community members who are looking for your services. Plus, Carnival sponsorships count towards Hill’s Partners in Education membership, which provides even more bonuses! Hill Families: please come and sponsor a booth in your family’s name or share a booth with another family. Go online at www.hillelementary.com and follow the link to Carnival Sponsorships.
