Hillcrest PDS Needs You:  Parents, have a couple of hours during the day or week?  Hillcrest PDS

  Hillcrest Safari Carnival - Friday Evening September 17th,  5:30 to 7:30
This year we are kicking it back Safari Style and have lots of fun things planned -- New games, new
booths -- so much instore but we need your HELP!

As you know, the PTA does a wonderful job at promoting our school, teachers and kiddos in so many
ways I cannot list. The PTA is only allowed a few fundraisers but in the last couple of years our
"Carnival Sponsors" have supported the carnival and allowed PTA do other fundraisers. One way to
help is with a financial donation to Hillcrest PTA -- this could be from your work or as an individual
contribution.  We will provide name recognition on our Carnival Banner.  If this is your first year at
Hillcrest, you will know that this is the only time funds are solicited and we certainly appreciate your
support.  We have also had a tremendous amount of Hillcrest Alumni families still support the
carnival and you know how much this means to our kids!  

Thank you in advance from the Carnival Committee and we would certainly appreciate a donation.
Checks should be made out to: Hillcrest PTA. Donations are tax deductible and I will make sure your
business or family will receive a deduction form.
                                          Coffee and Conversations
September 3rd, 8:15am to 9:00am.  This is an opportunity for you to meet informally with

Coffee and Bagels will be provided, or feel free to bring your own breakfast.
