Reminder PTO meeting next Wed Oct 18th at 6:15pm in the Hillcrest Library
Last month's meeting had an amazing turnout. We would like to thank all that were
able to attend. We look forward to even more new faces at this month's meeting and hope
to see many returning faces as well. We appreciate all of the support from our wonderful
Hillcrest families!

Hillcrest PTO Scrip Program
Buy a gift card for yourself or others and PTO receives money to spend to support your child’s classroom! When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn
revenue for our Hillcrest PTO.
Y Base Care
Are you looking for after school care on Early Release Day, Wednesday, October 25th?

If you are looking for a different option for care when school is not in session, here is information on the Y's Schools Out program: http://www.gwcymca.org/Schools-Out-Fun-Days
