From Mr. Drummond

Dear Hill Community,

Hill School is closed this week for Spring Break! We look forward to seeing everyone back on campus for learning Monday, March 18th. If your family is in need of support with meals over the break, please look at the resources shared below this letter.

The Hill Hoopla Fundraiser is around the corner! We always look forward to this fun event that does so much for our PTA and school. You can click here for all the information you need right now. Be sure to mark your calendars for April 5th! More information to come.

Another upcoming event is our annual Hill Heritage Fashion Parade on the morning of Thursday, March 28th right after assembly. Students may dress up in cultural attire and/or wave flags during the parade. Participation is optional but encouraged. We would love to see our Dillos participate! This is part of International Reading Week that will also take place.

The week after Spring Break is Childcare Worker Appreciation Week. Let’s give a big Dillo Cheer to the Hill 3rd Base program and the amazing staff. Be sure to show your appreciation at pick-up!

AISD Pride Week is March 18-22. You can click on this Hill Pride Week Parent Communication Letter for more information. Please let Principal Drummond know if you have any questions.

Have an awesome Spring Break!

Principal Drummond
