Dear White Hill Community,

Here's wishing you a wonderful mid-winter break! Be safe and we will see the kids back here on Monday, February 27th.

See below for the latest from White Hill and our community -

Friday Night Magic!

Do your kids love the card game, magic? See the attached flyer for information on Friday Night Magic games right here at White Hill! This is a take off of our very successful White Hill Hill Magic Club that is brought to us by the YMCA.

The Gala/Live Auction and Online Auction

Elves are planning…and it’s shaping up to be fantastic (we already have a few really cool items, more on that later)

YES is volunteer based and we need more elves! Check out the opportunists to help below, see if you can help out:

The ONLINE AUCTION is set for March 28 – April 6 – Our district wide fundraiser.

The GALA with LIVE AUCTION at Sweetwater (Yeah!) is set for May 6 – It is a celebration of our community and our other district wide fundraiser.

1. For both events we need more items for the auction! Have or know someone who has and is willing to donate: vacation home, boat trips, exceptional home items (art, home improvement, etc.), or maybe you have a connection to a business (or know someone who does) that would like Ross Valley exposure…

2. Two or three people who can take charge of soliciting businesses and following up with phone calls to get items donated to the online auction.

3. One or two volunteers to take on getting wine donations

Thank you for your consideration!

Please contact Liz with any lead or idea: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

White Hill's Speech Club Has Started - Are you looking for a positive challenge for your child?

The Speech Club is a great opportunity for students to build public speaking skills and to win prestigious awards at the Margie Burke Speech Tournament in Ross on April 29.

The club will support students in preparing for the tournament and having a valuable experience taking on an academic challenge.

The categories include:

Dramatic Interpretation
Persuasive
Original Prose & Poetry
Impromptu

Students who love creative writing, sharing their strong opinions, or have dramatic flair are great candidates, and all are welcome! If this sounds like a rewarding opportunity for your child, encourage him or her to join us!

The Speech Club meets on Thursdays at lunch with Mrs. Frank & Ms. Pierce
