Santa Claus came to town! Milk & Cookies with Santa 2023 is in the books, and it was spectacular! The Hillside High School gymnasium was filled to near capacity on the night of December 13th, 2023, as Hillside families, students, and children were greeted by Santa Claus himself! Parents, and families, got to take pictures with Santa, participate in various fun activities at different tables, and receive gifts during the toy giveaway! Thank you to the Hillside Police Department @hillsidepolicenj, Hillside Board of Education President, Ms. Cook, and the Hillside Board of Education for organizing this fantastic, unforgettable event for the community annually. Shout out to Superintendent Glover, and all of the Hillside Public Schools staff and families in attendance as well!
