MESSAGE FROM HILL PTA

Let’s stock the teacher’s lounge!!

Our teachers and staff work so hard, often going without lunch or snacks. Let's help stock the teachers lounge. View the Amazon wish list and you can just have it shipped directly to the school (easy!) Go off the list or order something else you think they might like. Let's show those that spend their days with our children some love!
