WHAT’S NEW!!

We are so excited to have our ASE registration online starting this semester. This will take a huge amount of work off of our ASE coordinators. Registration is open now but will close around noon on Friday, January 27!

Since this is our first time putting this online, we would love to have feedback so we can fix any problems, however small. Please let us know!

Dillo Donations needs you!

Our no-hassle fundraising goals are in reach; help us get there

Thank you to all who have donated to our “no-hassle” fundraiser so far this year. The money raised helps the PTA support our teachers and students without the need for gift wrap, coupon book or candy sales. But — and there is always a but — we are still several thousand dollars from reaching our goal!

If you haven’t already donated, please consider doing so. We’d greatly appreciate a donation of any amount (suggested donation, to continue our current programs is $120 per child).

Dillo Donation forms are in the office. For more info contact the Dillo Donations chairs, Michelle Hirschfield or Mary Theriot at dillodonations@hillelementary.com.
