Garden Help Needed - Calling all green thumbs and plant lovers. Our garden is going to be a bit thirsty when school is out and we could use your help. Can you volunteer a few minutes from your morning to do a little watering? It’s low commitment, gives you a chance to commune with nature, AND you can harvest whatever catches your eye. The sign-up form is HERE. Thank you! 
AISD Summer Reading Options - School might be over, but reading doesn’t have to be. Learn something new, escape to far away lands, insert yourself into an adventure… all without leaving Austin (maybe not even your house). Click HERE for information (in both English and Spanish) on summer reading options and resources from AISD.
Thank You Ms. Davis! - This year we say good-bye to 4th grade teacher Krista Davis. After 27 years with AISD, 18 of which were at Hill, she is retiring. What an amazing accomplishment! We thank her for the many years she dedicated to educating the children in our community, and wish her the best with this next chapter in her life.
