Hillcrest has recently been determined to be eligible for funding from Safeway for purchases its members make when their grocery cards are registered. They also have many, many online retailers that will give a portion of sales to Hillcrest if you are registered and begin your shopping trip in their online mall (PLEASE make sure you sign-in to eScrip). This means that Hillcrest can receive a benefit for many of your normal, everyday purchases that you would be making anyway!   Important Dates 2012: Closures In-Service - May 25 Half Day Holiday - Memorial Day May 28 All Day Holiday - Independence Day July 4 All Day In-Service - August 31 Half Day Holiday - Labor Day September 3 All Day In-Service - October 8 All Day In-Service - November 12 All Day Holiday - Thanksgiving November 23 & 23 All Day Holiday - Christmas December 25 All Day Holiday - January 1, 2013 Board Meetings May 16 5:45pm June 20 5:45pm July 18 5:45pm August 15 5:45pm September 19 5:45pm October 17 5:45pm Fundraisers June Parent Night Out Planter Box Sales - May Online Auction - Summer BBQ Clean Up/Fix Up Lots of Spring projects left to do Planter Box Assembly (Fundraiser!!)
