Due to COVID-19, our BIG FUN, EXCITING, annual Candy Cane Café and Breakfast Saturday event is unable to happen this year. Instead, the PFA has prepared the first ever Candy Cane Holiday Shoppe. Each class will have a designated set time for their sudents to shop for their loved ones during the school day (much like our Book Fair). Please remember, everyone who enters must wear a face-covering and practice social-distancing protocols. 

Please contact Misty Ochoa for further details and for all donations. 805-497-7501 ext. 1006 | mochoa@hillcrestcs.org
