Before School Orchestra Class

The program is open to all students with any prior music knowledge/ classes. Ideally, students that took music in 5th grade at Hilltop and want to continue playing into high school; however, younger students with experience are welcome. Since parents need to pay out of pocket, the more students the less it will be per student. See details here.

Recess Running Club – Parent Volunteer Needed!

Mrs. Bedient is looking for a parent volunteer to help lead our Lower El Recess Running Club this year, beginning in October. The time commitment is just once per week from 12:10–12:40 p.m. If you’re interested, please contact Mrs. Bedient.

Middle School Camp meds. Any left over meds, pill bottles: please see nurse Shewan by Tuesday, or they will be discarded.
