HCS PiE E-Newsletter
September 2025
Welcome back HCS Families, Teachers & Staff!
We hope the transition to the start of a new school year and all it's activities and routines has been an enjoyable one (if not a little hectic:)). We look forward to meeting more of you soon! After another successful year of fundraising, PiE is pleased to be able to donate $10,000 back to HCS to start off this school year. It is our hope that these funds will continue to cover the costs of field trips, for each student in grades K-8 and transportation for these trips. Additionally, a donation of $1,000 for the purchase of gift cards for HCS families in need will be presented to HCS at our first PiE meeting.
Our first PiE General Meeting is coming up NEXT TUESDAY September 30th at 6pm, with guest speaker, Janet, from Everybody Wins Vermont!
See you soon!

Family Movie Night- October 3rd from 6-8pm!
We welcome Pre-K–4 students and their families/caregivers to join us for this free family movie night event! Students were able to vote for the feature film right in their classrooms, and the winning movie was ELIO with 62.5% of the student votes!! (Runner up, was Moana 2)
Refreshments and a concession stand will be available (donations welcome), so grab a snack, bring your cozy vibes (and chairs if you'd like!), and enjoy a night out with friends. Our HCS Principal, Tim Trevithick and Assistant Principal, Alexis Kelly will be joining us from 6-6:30 to lead a walking-talking tour of the PK-4 wings of HCS for any parents/caregivers who are interested and will welcome any questions you may have. Yes, your kids can stay in the flex space for the movie while you're on the tour:) See you there!
If you're interested in helping with future Movie Nights (set up, concessions, post-movie cleanup), please send an email to hcspie@cvsdvt.org
A little background for those families new to HCS...
PiE's four main areas of focus are: Student Enrichment, Community building, Family Support and Staff Appreciation. Throughout each school year, a main goal of PiE is to raise funds on behalf of Hinesburg Community School in an effort to support and enhance our students educational experience. For example, in past years, a large portion of the PiE's annual donation made in the fall has covered the costs of field trips for ALL of our K-8 HCS students. PiE also conducts a grant program each year to assist with funding special projects that benefit our students and staff.
In addition to the e-newsletter, you can follow HCS PiE on both Facebook (HCS PiE) and Instagram (@hcspie) to stay up to date on events, upcoming meetings and ways to volunteer.
**If you're unable to volunteer for events or participate in fundraisers, please know that direct donations are welcome anytime. Direct donations will support PiE budget items, such as costs related to teacher appreciation week, refreshments for PiE Community events & fundraisers etc.**
