Hillside Elementary students started off the year with a celebratory picnic yesterday.

From adventuring through the playground to snacking on some good eats and treats, there was much fun to be had by students, staff, and families.

"It was great to have Hillside families gather during such a beautiful fall night," said PTSA President Tanya Rynders. "Jimmy's Soft Serve was delicious and the raffle items were extra fun. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the event a special one."
