School has started. What are our kids learning?
Hello, Mr. Palin!
My name is Ann, and I’m a Hillsdale parent (my son recently graduated). I now have the privilege of working with our K-12 Education Office at the College.
More than 70 schools we work with welcomed students back or opened their doors for the first time in the past month. I want to share a moving video with you about the K-12 education outreach efforts...efforts that YOU help support.
You can easily watch the video at this link:

Mr. Palin, I know you’ll love watching the video. It puts faces, names, and voices to the work you make possible.
Seeing the children smile in the video chokes me up every time—and I’ve watched the video a lot!
Their faces demonstrate that education is about more than just knowledge. It’s about character formation and helping students become thoughtful, informed citizens who thrive in an ever-changing world.
The children in the video receive a classical education thanks to you. That’s why I’m writing to you and why I know you’ll enjoy meeting—at least through a video—young people, teachers, and dedicated staff from across the country who count on your support.
So, Mr. Palin, thank you for reading my note, and I hope the video puts a smile on your face...just like those kids.
I’ll write to you again soon with more updates about the difference you’re making!
