PRINCIPAL's THOUGHTS
Dear Page Hilltop Families:
Our "LUCKY TO HAVE YOU" family fun event, hosted by our PTO, is just two weeks away and we hope you will be joining us. As we are working on all the plans for this evening, it is sure to be a fantastic school community event and a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday night!
If you have not yet purchased your tickets, you may do so by clicking on the link that you will find further below (as you read more about this event in this newsletter).
We are still in need of some additional volunteers to make this a successful night. Please consider volunteering by clicking on the link below: https://forms.gle/Z7NJs5ykZw7n4YRz6
We specifically are in need of more concession/bake sale contributions and adult volunteers during the event.
Thanks, as always, for sharing your children with us!
Fred Deppe, Principal
Matt Lutinski, Assistant Principal

LIBRARY FUN FACTS:
This week's fun facts:
- In honor of National Meatball Day, March 9: The world's largest meatball weighed 1767 pounds, made in Hilton Head, SC. It took one week to cook it! Wonder if they had pasta with their meatball?!
- Alaska is the only state that can be typed on one row of keys. Try this at home!
- Thank you, Mrs. Anderson, for sharing these fun facts each week AND for posting facts in the library also. Our students & staff enjoy reading and learning!
