Sending a heartfelt thank you to our five Hilton CSD principals on this School Principals' Day! We are grateful for your hard work every day, dedication, visionary thinking, and for keeping our schools running smoothly. #Welcoming #Affirming #CadetProud
On April 24 8th grade students traveled to the high school to see a performance of Survivors performed by JCC’s Center Stage. The show presents the Holocaust through the eyes of ten Rochester-based survivors portrayed by six actors.
Following the performance students had a chance to comment on the production as well as ask questions of the cast members.
Special thanks to:
• Matt D'Augustine and Colleen Grego for planning and logistics
• The eighth-grade teachers for chaperoning
• Assistant Principal Steve Sorensen
• The transportation department for busing the students to the high school
• Kim Rudd for sound and technical support
• The High School Administration for providing the auditorium
• Kristen Paolini for funding the show
• The students for being such a great audience
• The actors who put on an amazing, and memorable performance

MW Principal Dr. Marc D’Amico and Assistant Principal Steve Sorensen fell victim to an unexpected dessert attack last Thursday when Assistant Principal Dr. Laura Mayer willingly took on the task of throwing a pie in their faces. It was a sweet reward for the seventh graders who donated the most personal care items in a challenge with the eighth graders. Together, the classes donated over 700 items, including 120 bottles of shampoo, to the Hilton-Parma Emergency Food Shelf. In addition to the personal care items, basket raffles among staff raised $450, the 5 Buy Five Charity Art Show raised about $200, and Melos Café raised $150 – all for the Food Shelf. “Our school is happy to be able to help people in our community and to teach our students the importance of taking care of each other,” said D’Amico.
