Cultural Arts Committee

Every year, the vast majority of Hillside PTO’s budget is spent on our Cultural Arts programming. With the support of Hillside parents, Hillside PTO funds five grade-level assemblies, three all school assemblies, and a week-long artist residency program. Please take a few moments to explore the wonderful programming Hillside kids enjoy throughout the year.

Grade Level Assemblies, 2019-2020

Hillside kindergartens delight in Carol Spacht’s portrayal of Mother Goose while getting a playful lesson in letter-sounds and phonics.  January 10, 2020

First graders learn the science behind fascinating weather phenomenon and even get to make their own cloud with The Franklin Institute’s traveling science show. December 3, 2019

Hillside’s second grade rings in Chinese New Year with a huge celebration, featuring paper cutting with Master Cheng, shadow puppetry with Hua Hua Zhang, and a lesson in Chinese character writing. January 28, 2020

Our third graders get a visit from Cliff Wright-Sunflower–the “Bee Man”— and his honeybees, learning a ton about bees but also about ecosystems and the importance of environmental stewardship. June 1, 2020

Finally, Hillside fourth graders receive one last visit from Carol Spacht–this time as Martha Washington–who this year, for the first time, will bring along her husband, General Washington.

All School Assemblies, 2019-2020

Our grade-level assemblies are Hillside traditions and, generally, don’t change from year to year. However, our all school assemblies are new every year. This year, as part of American Education Week–November 11-15, 2019–we present Cello Fury. In the Spring, the Academy of Natural Sciences will bring their “Bad Reputations” program, which features animals with–you guessed it!–bad reputations to Hillside. Cello Fury will play on November 14, 2019. The Academy of Natural Sciences will be on campus April 2-3, 2020.

Artist in Residence “Theme” Week

This Spring, Walnut Street Theatre will be our artist in residence group, offering every Hillside student the opportunity to experience the thrill of live performance.
