All School Thanksgiving Lunch and Dessert Buffet-11/22
Friday, November 22, we will hold an all-school lunch to show how grateful we all are to be a part of this community. At lunch, students will eat what they normally eat on Fridays (pack a lunch or buy through Ordo) and after lunch, they will be invited to sample the buffet of pies, cakes and other delicious desserts that families and faculty donate for the event. If you do plan to contribute a dessert, please let Mr. Van Dyke know what it is by next Wednesday, November 20 and remember to include with your contribution, a list of ingredients so we can make sure those with allergies are safe.
Please have your child drop them off with Mrs. Barnes on Friday morning. After the dessert feast, students will write, on paper leaves, their thoughts about what they are thankful for in their lives. The leaves will be put up around the school for all to read and enjoy.
Annual NHS Food Drive
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and as is our tradition, Hill Top’s National Honor Society is organizing a food drive to benefit those living with food insecurity. This year, your donations will be delivered on November 21st to ElderNet’s Ada Mutch Food Pantry in Bryn Mawr which provides free assistance to residents of Lower Merion and Narberth living with low incomes. The food pantry accepts non-perishable, pre-packaged and canned food that has not exceeded its expiration date. For a specific list of high demand items, please click here. The NHS will place collection bins in the front lobby of the mansion beginning Wednesday, 11/6 and will continue to accept donations until Thursday, 11/21. Please send in whatever you can and as always, we thank you for your continued support of the NHS mission to provide service to our community.

Holiday Toy Drive for CHOP
Ms. Gushka's partner, Matt, is holding his 18th annual Holiday Toy Drive for CHOP! He began this tradition after receiving a life-saving liver transplant at CHOP as a child. Inspired by the joy holiday gifts brought him during his stay, he’s kept this drive going ever since.
You can drop any new, unwrapped toys or gift cards into the festive donation box in the lobby by Monday, December 2nd. Matt, his family, and I will deliver your generous donations to CHOP the following week.
