Schedule of Events

Welcome to Hillside’s Annual Spring Fling Celebration!

Each year, we look forward to gathering with students and families to mark another year of growth and friendship, and to raise essential funds to support learners and further the School’s programs.

Thanks to the generosity of many families, businesses, faculty and staff, we are pleased to offer you a diverse collection of items and experiences in 2015.

For our dedicated parents, grandparents and grandfriends, an evening reception and silent auction will take place on Friday, May 1st. Students and siblings in Fifth to Ninth Grades will have their own celebratory evening of games and pizza. On Saturday, May 2nd, we invite everyone to come together for more athletics, a luncheon and a chance at live auction items that will especially appeal to Hillside students.

We hope you have a wonderful time this weekend, and always welcome your suggestions on how to make it better. Thank you for believing in Hillside and our boys, and for recognizing the very real difference your participation makes!

Sincerely,

Emily Kent Assistant Head for School Advancement
