PTSA Updates
Did you know that sometimes Hillcrest needs parent volunteers for things? You probably thought those days ended when your child left elementary school. But the administration at Hillcrest asks the PTSA to help get parents involved! When you join Hillcrest High PTSA, you do not HAVE to volunteer any time at all, but you will get sign-ups and have the opportunity to support the school, spend time with the students and teachers, and be involved if that is what you want to do. Please consider supporting and becoming a member by following this link: https://hillcresthuskies.givebacks.com/shop. Join PTSA!
At our givebacks store at the same link, you can also find our fundraiser – another great way to support Hillcrest PTSA. We sell a deluxe plush husky blanket that your student will love!
Dawg Wednesday volunteers: Please sign up to help prepare for Dawg Wednesdays! Volunteers are needed 9 am – 11 am every Wednesday of the first quarter. Pick any day you can help. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4EADAB28AAFE3-58224628-help#/
It is time for the annual Reflections Contest! The theme this year is “I Belong!” Students can submit projects in dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, or visual arts. Entries due October 29th. Learn more at utahpta.org/ref.
If you have any questions, you can reach us at hhshuskiesptsa@gmail.com.

Fall Schedule for Canyons Family Center
Register now for free parenting classes, student support groups
The Canyons Family Center has begun accepting registrations for its fall lineup of classes for parents and students. Located at Mt. Jordan Middle School, the Center is a free resource for all Canyons District families. Its licensed staff provide individual counseling and sponsor student support groups and parent education classes. Class topics range from how to cope with ADHD and anxiety to building self-esteem. In addition, classes can be taken to resolve student disciplinary records and fines. Families can also register for intakes for counseling services or referral to private mental health providers. “The Family Center is a place where families come together to discover genuine avenues to assist each other, connect with each other, and learn from each other,” said Canyons District Prevention Specialist Kelly Redican. Fall courses begin the week of Sept. 23. To register and learn more, visit canyonsdistrict.org. Questions? Center staff are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 801-826-8190.
