Hillview Happenings
“Hillview Happenings” February 2025
Dear Hillview Families,
Our faculty and staff members have truly enjoyed working with your children throughout the first half of the
school year. We look forward to all of the special events that are planned for the second semester.
Please join us for the PTO’s Winter Family Fun/Movie Night on Wednesday, February 5 th from 6:00-7:30 pm in
our gymnasium. Hillview will also participate in the 12th annual districtwide “Week of Kindness” (February 10th–14th ) to further promote character education. Every LCSD school has generated a variety of special activities
to celebrate throughout the week.
During the Week of Kindness, Hillview students and staff members will participate in service projects for our
community. We will create Valentine’s Day cards for local veterans and decorate grocery bags with uplifting
messages for the customers at Tops grocery store next door. We will also be collecting change for the
“Birthday Buddies” organization. This group generously hosts birthday parties for children living in extreme
poverty. Our PTO is also sponsoring a kindness-themed assembly with Kevin McCarthy. Many other
thoughtful activities are planned throughout that week.
Happy Valentine’s Day on February 14th and Happy 100th Day of School on February 25th! Enjoy the mid-
winter recess (February 17th – 21st ) with your family and friends. It is a perfect time to play outside in the
snow, visit the public library to borrow books or enjoy a game night with family members.
We are excited to begin the second half of the school year together at Hillview!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Moeller
Principal

Calendar
Virtual Backpack
Here you will find informational flyers from the school, the PTO, and community organizations. Postings are organized by month and category. They are posted as printable PDFs to afford easy access for parents. They will remain accessible throughout the year, which means no more searching through your child's backpack looking for a lost flyer!
New Policy:
At this time, paper copies of all school-sponsored events will also be sent home with students. However, flyers from community organizations will ONLY be posted to our Virtual Backpack and will no longer be sent home with each child.
Community organizations may submit flyers in PDF form to our Superintendent's office for approval and should not be interpreted as District sponsorship of an event or endorsement of any organization. The information is posted by the District as a community service. The approval process for the distribution of flyers has not changed.
