A message from Mrs. Rittmiller
Thank you families and students for a great first half of the school year. It was wonderful to see some of you at conferences this week. Please note the importance of attendance and continuing to stay present for the remainder of the school year. We look forward to a great second half of the school year.
We are excited to be getting prepared for the Hilltop STEM Science Fair. Students have been given the information to see if they are interested. Please return the bottom of the green Science Fair flyer on or before Friday, Feb. 4, if your child is interested in participating.
Please stop by Hilltop or call if you have any questions or concerns. We know each and every student matters and you as caregivers play a huge role in this! YOU MATTER and the partnership between home and school is so very important!
Together in Learning,

PTO Update
Park and Hilltop celebrate literacy as part of "I Love to Read Month." The PTO is continuing our annual Read-a-thon as part of this celebration of reading! Both Park and Hilltop will be having various activities and events that promote reading during February. Students will collect donations from family members, neighbors, and friends! Last year, due to our families' tremendous support, we raised over $5,000.
Donations can be in the form of cash, check, or credit card. As a form of COVID-friendly fundraising, we use 99Pledges for online donations. Family and friends can also support your child's goal online by going to https://app.99pledges.com/fund/giantread , searching for your child's name, and donating by credit card.
All donations should be turned in by Wednesday, February 16!
All proceeds from this fundraiser benefit the Park Hilltop PTO. The funds raised go directly back to Le Sueur Henderson students for field trips, classroom needs, teacher requests, and activity nights.
Look for more information coming soon about a PTO Movie Night in March to celebrate the accomplishments of our students' reading efforts in February.
