Hidden Hills Elementary PTSA (Parent, Teacher, Student Association)
Welcome Message
    

As your Hidden Hills PTSA officers, we would like to welcome all new and returning parents to another great year for our school community. We invite each and every one of you to join the PTSA. We are a support system that promotes learning in a safe and enriching environment. Hidden Hills maintains a strong and capable PTSA. We are thrilled to be a part of our school. We will take part in educating, training and supporting all of our members. With the help of all of you, we will continue to establish, sponsor and participate in a variety of school activities and programs that help our school stand out above others. Some activities include: The Winter/Holiday Assistance Program, Reading is Fundamental, Young Authors, Art Masterpiece, Yearbook, Teacher Compensation Supplement, School Pictures, and Community Nights programs. Because of many dedicated staff and volunteers, our school has continually won many different State and National PTA awards and honors such as: Volunteer of the Year, 100% Teacher Membership, Support Staff Person of the Year, Teacher of the Year and Focus on Fathers Award. Over the summer our award winning support staff person, DeeAnn Chisman, developed a web site for our school which was funded through the PTSA. She has done a great job and we hope if you have internet access you will visit our website; HTTP://EPAGE.PVUSD.K12.AZ.US/Siteweb/ to keep you updated on various subjects and activities at school.

The PTSA will be looking for your support in the three fundraisers to be held this year. They are Entertainment Books, Sally Foster Catalog Sale, and Butterbraid Danish Sale. You may choose one or all of these to help support our schools programs. Or if you prefer, a cash donation is always welcome.

Your time is the most valuable resource of all. There are also a few positions that need to be filled. They include:  Membership co-chair – this person will help facilitate programs and incentives to welcome new members and retain current members; Homeroom Parent Co-Chair – position helps recruit, plan and coordinate the homeroom parents and assisting with their needs; and Staff Appreciation Co-Chair – will assist in coordinating dinners during conference weeks and luncheon during Teacher Appreciation Week.

Trying to stay organized this year? Calendars with all the most important dates of the year will be available at the School Warming and Open House. The price will be $4.00 and runs concurrent with the school year (August to July).

Please feel free to contact our officers and board members for any questions you may have. We welcome your support and new or different ideas. We look forward to hearing from and working with you throughout this year. May we all have an excellent, memorable and successful school-year.

Sincerely,

Gayle Brideau & Elaina West
