Some Hill families need a little help to make their holidays a bit brighter. There are two ways you can help Hill families this holiday season.
GENERAL DONATION: HEB gift cards and wrapping paper are needed and can be donated at the office.
INDIVIDUAL SNOWFLAKE GIFTS: Each child will have one specific gift from their wish list on a snowflake in the front office. Please stop by or ask your child to stop by and pick up a snowflake to donate a specific item.
Please sign up on the form located by the snowflakes when you take a snowflake and return the item to the counselors by Friday December 15th with the snowflake attached to the gift.
If you have any questions please contact Kristina Spess at spesskristi@gmail.com or Sheila Wessels at sheila.wessels@austinisd.org or Stephanie Winfrey at stephanie.winfrey@austinisd.org

Dr. Richard Reddick and Ms. Khotan Shahbazi-Harmon will be sharing information to help parents make sense of today’s environment and facilitating a dialog building upon our close knit community.

We are thrilled to announce that 5th grade is working with the Legacy of Giving project this November to donate both non-perishable foods and gently used or new coats to the Central Texas Food Bank and Coats for Kids. Why coats? When families have to choose between heat and food, they buy food.
5th grade wants to encourage every family to bring:
Non-Perishable Foods: Healthy. Sturdy packaging. Not expired. These items have been requested, if possible: peanut butter, canned chicken or tuna, low sodium vegetables, fruit packed in their own juices, dry pinto beans, brown rice, non-fat dry milk powder, and 100% whole grain cereals.
Coats: Warm, thick coats. NO sweaters, hoodies, or thin fleece because they will not be warm enough. Each donation may be a kid’s only coat AND blanket, so the coats need need to be warm. Sizes up to adult XXL are needed.
Donation Due Date: November 28th
Don’t forget to vote for the AISD 2018-2019 school calendar by December 1st.
