That’s right, pedestal joust, rock wall, football toss, and soda toss are back! We’ll also have double the petting zoo for less wait time and more cuddly goat time.
YES! The famous HILL HAUNTED HOUSE is back and better than ever. Tell your friends. The 5th graders have been hard at work to make it the best Haunted House yet.
New this year – we’ll have local food trucks in our “Carnival Food Truck Park.” Enjoy local favorites Tinney’s BBQ, Burger 5280, Taco Baby, Fancy Fluff, Cold Cookie Co, and more!

How can I help?
Donate regular size Pringles cans, 17oz soda bottles starting Feb 15th. And kids don’t care about brands…we’ll take the store brand. Please leave in the Carnival donation boxes near the school’s front doors. Don’t have time to run to the store? Click here to donate and we’ll do the shopping. These are very popular booths…thank you for your donation!
Sign up for a volunteer slot at your class’s booth. It takes the whole school to make this event special. Shifts are short and you’ll always have someone working with you at your booth. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D4EAFA82FA4FE3-hill

DILLO! DILLO! ATX! Buy-In Parties.
This might be the most fun way to support Hill Elementary! WHAT’S A BUY-IN PARTY? It’s a party hosted/donated by Hill parents. On the night of Hoopla, attendees will have a chance to buy a ticket to your party, and all money earned goes straight back to Hill. These tickets go fast and the parties are so much fun. You won’t want to miss out on your opportunity to give back by hosting a party with your friends and fellow parents. Here are some ideas:
- parties for children by grade level (Ex: “Incoming 4th Grade Co-Ed Pool Party” or “Incoming 2nd Grade Sports Party”)
- parties for adults by the grade level of their children (Ex: “Incoming 3rd Grade Moms Happy Hour”)
- parties for children and adults by grade level (Ex: “Incoming 5th Grade Father-Son Kickball Game”)
- parties open to all adults (Ex: “Dads Poker Tourney” or “Couples Wine Dinner”)
An individual, couple, or even a group of friends can host. Veteran hosts, we need you back and we’re excited to hear your plans! There are no limits on guest counts this year. Newcomers, please don’t be shy! Reach out to Vanessa Allgood, Buy-In Party Chair, at vanessa.allgood@gmail.com with any questions. She’s excited to help coordinate these parties and support our community! When you get the details of your party set, please let her know by filling out this GOOGLE FORM.

Our outstanding school nurse, Ms. Pierson, will sadly be leaving Hill Elementary on Friday, December 3. She has been working on her Master of Public Health degree and has an incredible opportunity to be a Public Health Nurse with the CDC Foundation. Another RN will be in the health room until a permanent replacement is hired. Nurse Pierson has been an essential part of Hill Elementary and worked so hard to help our students stay healthy over the past four years. We will miss her! If you would like to send a note of congratulations or thanks for her hard work at Hill, please send it with your child or drop it off with the office by this Friday, December 3rd.
