During Hobby Hour, the Platypus Pottery classes made a model of Hillside School that is on display near the office. While you're in for parent/teacher conferences, please take some time to enjoy this skilled piece of artwork created by our students.
Committee Thank Yous:
We would like to thank Judy Daniels and her Nutrition Committee – Joanne Dzama, Karen
Gelenites, Filona Leechow, Madelina Lima, and Laurie Wolfe for taking the time to cut up fruit for the entire school on March 20. The Nutrition Committee makes an effort to encourage kids to try new food by offering a variety of options.
Original Works went home last week, and the finished products look great. We would like to thank Maureen Sugarman and Ilene Price for running this program which provides us with creative options to preserve our children’s artwork.
