An Update from Principal Drummond 9/14/25
Dear Hill Community, It is International Reading Week at Hill! A reminder that we invite our Hill families to share their cultural heritage with the community. The Hill Heritage Parade is this Friday, September 19 after morning assembly. Students can wear cultural attire and/or wave flags. Participation is optional but encouraged! Parents are also invited to read a short book to their child’s class about their culture, a tradition, or in another language. This is a special tradition at Hill School that has moved to the fall this year to ensure more participation. Sign up here to participate. Contact culturalcommittee@hillelementary.com with any questions you may have.

We want to invite you to our first Principal Coffee of the year on Thursday, September 18th at 7:45 am in our Hill Library.
