Spring is in the air!

Huge thank you for your support and attendance at our Science Night this past week, as well as those who attended the Children's Day Celebration, Día del Niño at Hillsboro High School! We had a great turn out at both! I love living in a community where we can connect across these events collecting our shared experiences - strengthening relationships so we can thrive. Being able to watch friendships across the school take shape is such a gift ❣️

We are headed into the last full school week of April. State testing is underway and more events are listed below. If you haven't already marked your calendar for 2 in particular to attend, I would love to invite you to now, knowing that we all have busy schedules and advance notice is helpful:

Hillsboro School District Proud to be HSD Festival at the Farmer's Market in downtown Hillsboro on May 10, 9am -1pm with food trucks and a STEAM Pavilion it’s worth exploring.

And our 2nd Annual Otter Fun Run, led by our Tamarack Community Group this year on May 30th. You and family members are invited to come to the turf field during your child’s ‘specials’ (PE/Music/OMSI/Library time) to walk, run, jog, skip or just cheer as students raise funds for the school. No pets allowed, but all other family members are welcome! Here the tentative times for each class:
