Hello Hidden Valley Families!
One week to go until Winter Break! Is everyone ready? The PTO is looking forward to spending time with family and friends and hopefully getting healthy. Let’s start 2023 on our best feet! Next week is regular dismissal, in case you were wondering!!
We are still collecting for the HV Holiday Giving Drive! And now we have curbside service!! Our 3rd and 4th graders will be at the drop off circle next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to collect your gift card and book donations. Help us help families in our immediate community! See below for more information if your student would like to help collect!
Mark your calendars! Winter Break is December 19th until January 2nd. There is a teacher work day on January 3rd, so we will see everyone back at school on Wednesday, January 4th!
Best,
Team PTO

Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity!
Lego Clubs have been a huge success so far since our launch!
Thank you Sara Wilson and Jenn Hamerski! We need more help on Mondays during lunch time. It could be a shared job if we find two coordinators. It's actually really fun to witness the student enthusiasm and creativity!
Please email hiddenvalleyhawkspto@gmail.com if you are interested.
