All of the elementary and middle schools in Livingston have come together to create a fabulous discount card for local vendors that is on sale now. Vendors include 580 South, Accessorize This, Anthony
Francos, Elle Squared, NailQuest, Il Giacolones, and many others. These cards will help raise money to support programs that directly enhance the education of our children, through cultural arts programs, field trips, teacher education grants, and other PTA/HSA sponsored events. The card will be valid from
September 2010 through October 2011.
The price for this card is just $10.00. If you would like to purchase a card, you can contact your child's class parent. They will also be available for purchase at the Friday bake sales. These cards are limited in number, and once they are gone, they are not printing any more- so get them while they last!

Last year the PTA created a private group page where we share information about school activities, upcoming PTA events, and reminders. It’s also a way for new families to meet everyone in the Hillside community, connect to make play dates, or just waste some mindless time like we all do on Facebook.
Once you are a member, feel free to post questions, comments, or reminders of your own that are school related. If you are not yet a member, and would like to join, please contact Mindy Pritikin at mtpritikin@msn.com
