Social media only allows us to post 10 photos, but that's just a small percentage of the number of images we have of Halloween here at Hillside Public Schools! Schools across our district hosted Halloween parades, including A.P. Morris, Deanna Taylor, Hurden Looker, and Ola Edwards! At Hillside High School, both students and staff dressed in costumes, and Mrs. Deutsch's AP Language and Composition students even wrote short horror stories! It's been a fun, creative day in Hillside Public Schools, and these are just a few pictures that capture the spirit of today's celebrations. More content to come! @hillsidehs_schoolcounseling @hillsidestuco @partycity @spirithalloween

Hillside Innovation Academy and Pandolfi Ceramics supported a collaboration and June 2023 competition for Hillside Innovation Academy’s grade seven scholars. The students designed plates inspired the artist Judy Chicago’s famous work “The Dinner Party,” on permanent view at the Brooklyn Museum. Shoppers at Pandolfi studios had the opportunity to purchase designs by HIA scholars. The scholars were each awarded with a monetary and personalized gift from Pandolfi studio owners. As a result of this collaboration, Pandolfi Ceramics USA is to donate the funds from the pieces scholars designed back to Hillside Innovation Academy resulting in a donation of over $2,000 for Hillside Innovation Academy’s art program under HIA's Visual Art Teacher, and the 2023 NJ Teen Art Educator of the Year, Rachel Therres! Great work, HIA!

We have enough photos from Pink Out Day to post about it for weeks on end, it's safe to say it was a massive success here at Hillside Public Schools! Here are just a FEW images of students and staff from each school in our district, as well as the Board Office. The best pink-out-attired school hasn't been awarded yet, it's a hard decision, but how are you liking the pink spirit from last Friday? :)

There are ways that you can help to promote awareness and show support for World Mental Health Day:
Talk about mental health issues with others, especially children if they are showing signs of depression or anxiety.
Attend events in your town by checking your county’s calendar.
Donate to mental health organizations or charities that provide support and fund research.
Volunteer your time with organizations that provide help to those who are suffering from mental health issues.
There sometimes is a stigma or discrimination in communities for individuals who have mental health issues, which causes many individuals not to seek out the help that they may need. There is no need for anyone to go untreated. There are many services available.
If you are having thoughts of suicide
If you need mental health-related crisis support
If you are worried about someone else
Please call or text 988 or visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline chat to connect with a trained crisis counselor.
