We will finish our year by performing at Volante Farms during their Father's Day Barbecue.

the Hillside Student Council have participated in many successful community service projects
in the last few years such as Coats for Kids and Cradles to Crayons.
This year the students expressed interest in helping others in need in a
new way. For this reason the student council chose to participate in
Pennies for Patients, which has never been done before at Hillside. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Pennies for Patients was launched in 1994 by the </span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society</span>. Since it's inception millions of dollars have been raised in pennies and other
spare change by more than 10 million elementary, middle and high school
students throughout the country, and has funded research benefiting children with blood cancers. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Hillside joined the effort this year; the student council advertised and </span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 9.5pt;">asked their fellow Hillside kids to bring in spare change</span>, and raised a total </span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 9.5pt;">$1976.88. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">In what has become an annual tradition, Friday, February 17th, Hillside school participated in it’s 13th annual Jump Rope for Heart to support the American Heart Association. The event is named after former Hillside School teacher’s aid, Carol Virginio, who passed away in the spring of 2013. Carol was a cancer survivor, a heart transplant recipient, and an avid supporter of this event. </span></div>

The event is coordinated by Hillside School’s Physical Education and Wellness teacher Rob Tatro. This year, Hillside School had over 260 students who helped find sponsorships for the event which, for only the third time in school history, eclipsed the $21,000 mark in total donations to the American Heart Association. Whether or not students chose to find sponsorships or not, students spent the past several weeks experimenting with new jumping skills, learning about heart health, and supporting this very important organization. We are so lucky to be blessed with such support from the entire Needham community and beyond and thank you to everyone who helped make another Jump Rope for Heart event a tremendous success! <a href="https://goo.gl/photos/tTGdAyeJXnx5rATU9" target="_blank">See all photos</a><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">The
Buddy Water project at Hillside is lead by second grade teacher Mr.
Goneconto and fourth grade teacher Mrs. Katz. Their students learned
about water purification and how water shortages affect millions of
people around the world. They also raised awareness and money for the
project by placing collection jars in some of our local establishments,
including Not Your Average Joe's and Hearth Pizzeria. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">The Buddy Water Project started 8 years ago in 2008 and at that time over 1 billion people
did not have access to clean drinking water. </span></span>This year, a UNICEF representative revealed to the students that currently, the amount of people in the world that
do not have access to clean drinking water has dropped to 663 million. That's a difference of
over 337 million people- more than the entire population
of the United States! It is because of programs like Hillside's Buddy Water
Project that this number continues to shrink. Great work for a great cause!</span></span><br />

Hillside earned a 1st place award in recognition of the highest amount of money raised and donated by schools based on size, as well as a top 10 award for the amount of money raised without designation of school size. Out of the 500+ schools that participate in the Jump Rope for Heart program, Hillside finished 6th! Most importantly, the kids learned heart healthy habits and had a blast jumping for a wonderful cause to honor the memory of Carol Virginio.<br />
