Support the Red Hill Library and donate a book in your child’s name for his/her birthday. Birthday book club students get to choose a brand new library book from a wide selection of exciting titles. They will be the first to borrow it from the library and once returned, the book will be placed into our library collection for others to enjoy. 

The cost is $25 and all proceeds go directly to supporting our library. Each student will celebrate during their birthday week in the library and take home a goodie bag. Summer birthdays will be celebrated on their half birthday.

We have a few important schedule updates for December. Please mark your calendars and plan accordingly:

  • Friday, December 20 - Staff Day (No school)

Share Your Red Hill Photos

We'd love to include your photos in our yearbook, on Instagram, and on the PTA website to showcase our amazing Red Hill community. Please email any photos throughout the year to photos@redhillpta.org.

Submission Guidelines:

  • One Event per Email: For easy sorting, please send separate emails for each event. Label the subject line with the event name, like "Family Movie Night" or "Garden," and include only photos from that event. This makes it easier for us to categorize and sort your submissions.
  • Review Process: We’ll carefully review all photos and ensure that we respect families' preferences by not sharing photos of students who have opted out of public visibility.
