We are planning one of our bigger events during the year! End of Year Celebration! We will need all the help we can get.

We are often asked what the Hillcrest PTO does. Through events, we raise money for Hillcrest. Just this year we used those funds to give directly to each grade through monthly popcorn sales, to our classrooms through our new teacher wish list program, and to our students through the purchase of a Gaga Ball mat. The success of our fundraisers is a direct reflection of our generous families and dedicated volunteers. Want to volunteer your time and talents? Join us!

The Walkathon is this Friday!! Remember to send Walkathon pledges from friends and family to school with your students! We are raising money for a gaga ball mat for the playground. Cash, checks (payable to Hillcrest Elementary PTO), and paypal () are all accepted!

The agenda for tonight meeting at 4:30 in the faculty room at Hillcrest! We hope to see you there!

Coming soon.......!

Who wants to watch some hockey?! The Idaho Steelheads are offering $15 tickets for Hillcrest Elementary friends and family for the April 7 game.

Good Morning!
There has been some question as to whether we can change the time of monthly PTO meetings. Currently held at 6pm the first Thursday of every month at the Hillcrest library. I've made a survey of 3 questions, if you could take the survey it would be extremely helpful! Thank you so much!
