Eagle Update

Indian Hills Elementary

Indian Hills Elementary Arts Night fundraiser announcement for May 14th, 2026.
Hi there, Eagles!

What an AMAZING Educator Appreciation Week! Our PTO showered the staff with so much love through door decorations, new lanyards for our badges, special snacks and treats, breakfasts, and lunches. We are supremely grateful for the generosity and thoughtfulness of our community!

Coming this week:

Dine-Out with Crema in Wednesday, May 13th
  • Mention Indian Hills when you order, and the owners of Crema will make a donation to our school.

Arts Night is Thursday, May 14th 5:00-7:30 p.m.
  • Volunteers Needed - Sign Up Here
  • Pre-Order YOUR Student's Framed Art Here
  • Jump on into the Silent Auction - Here

Happy Mother’s Day!
I personally see this day as an opportunity to honor the many people in our lives who nurture and care for those around them. Whether it is checking in on a friend, dropping by snacks after school or during testing season, helping with homework, breaking bread together, lending a listening ear, or simply sharing a smile, there are so many ways to “mother” one another.

I am deeply grateful to all of you who share your love, care, and support each and every day as part of our Indian Hills community!

Warmly,
Dr. P
 

Arts Night

Silent Auction Launch

Get ready for one of our favorite events of the year — ARTS Night! Join us Thursday evening to celebrate the incredible creativity of our students while supporting the enrichment programs that make our school community so special. Along with the Gallery Stroll and fun carnival activities (including the infamous dunk tank!), don’t miss our Silent Auction featuring an amazing mix of experiences and local favorites.

The Silent Auction launches Sunday, May 10 and will remain open through Thursday night during ARTS Night. New items will be added daily, so be sure to check back often! We’ll have everything from vacation getaways and fitness memberships to spa treatments, family experiences, dining, and community favorites.

Every bid directly supports the Art, Science, and Music programs that make Indian Hills unique — and you might just score something incredible along the way!

Here is the link to start the fun for ARTS Night 2026.

Can you believe it? We only have 13 school days left until summer break!

Kindergarten is already halfway through their alphabet countdown — Friday was Pajama Day!

One of the reasons for regular attendance is to help students feel connected to their friends, class, and our school. As we head into the final stretch of the school year, please help us make every day count by ensuring students arrive on time, well-rested, and ready to learn so we can FINISH STRONG!
