Dear Hillsdale Community,

Together we are making a difference at Hillsdale High School.  Now in its seventh year the Hillsdale Foundation (HHSF) continues to work with parents and alumni to fund the Small Learning Community model that Hillsdale families have come to expect, extol and support.  The Board is proud to uphold the  mission to serve each and every student by ensuring that SLCs are sustained.

Already this year we are off to a great start.  Out of an overall fundraising goal of $310,000 we have raised $203,000  and we're confident, with your help, we will achieve our goal.  Though raising money to fund SLCs is our primary purpose, our goals of awareness and communication have also improved.  We have two dynamically redesigned websites, one for HHSF and the other for the Alumni Association, which showcase the Foundation and Alumni Association and allow donors to easily make online donations.  Please visit the websites at www.hillsdalehsfoundation.org and www.hillsdalehsalumni.org.

Last year, HHSF and the school's Booster organizations  strategized to create a fiscal umbrella under the auspices of HHSF. The Hillsdale Sustainability Board debuted in August with eager participation from Booster leaders, faculty, administration and HHSF board members.  The result will be a greater sense of community and teamwork in communication, fundraising and fiscal responsibility.

As we move into the holiday season please know the difference you make is very much appreciated by the staff, the faculty and most important, the students.  On behalf of them and the Foundation Board THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

Mary Ellison and Brett Dyer 

HHSF Board co-Presidents
