Hilldale Elementary School -

Dear Parents,

Hilldale is collecting for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program again this year! The toys must be NEW, unwrapped, and may be for children of any age. If you would like to donate a toy, you may choose your own, bring it to Hilldale, and place it in the box in the front hall.

If you would like to donate using our Amazon Wish List and have it delivered to Hilldale, please click on the following link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2SDS31K7SAC86?ref_=wl_share

Any donation is appreciated and all toys will be distributed to needy families. Last year, the Toys for Tots organization donated over 247,000 toys to children locally. The collection will run from Monday, 11/24/25 to Friday, 12/12/25. No late toys can be accepted!

Thank you,

Mrs. Forst

Posted on Instagram: garibell_kindergarten_cuties of #Hilldale honored Patriot Day (9/11) by learning about real-life heroes in our community. Students talked about the importance of helpers—firefighters, police officers, doctors, and so many more—who keep us safe and cared for each day.
The children colored, wrote, and proudly shared their work to remember and celebrate the everyday heroes all around us.
