Hillside Happenings

Dear Hillside Families,

What an absolutely breathtaking finish to our school year! Because of your incredible generosity, our community raised over $16,000 for our Leader in Me initiatives through the Color Splash Dash! We are completely blown away by this support, which directly invests in growing the leadership and potential of every single student at Hillside.

A massive thank you to all of our amazing parent and community volunteers who stepped up to help run the event, throw color, and keep our runners safe. We quite literally could not do this without you—your energy made the day unforgettable!

Celebrating Our 5th Graders 🎓

We also want to extend a huge shout-out to our fantastic 5th-grade parents for putting together an awesome party last night following the promotion ceremony. The kids had an absolute blast celebrating their elementary journey and making final memories together as Huskies. Thank you for making it so special!
