TREX RECYCLING CHALLENGE Last year the district collected over 7,000 pounds of plastic, WOW! For the second year, all Hillsboro schools & support buildings are participating in the TREX Film Plastic Recycling Challenge, which runs through April 22, 2018. Students, staff, family, and friends and invited to bring in plastic bags and plastic wrap to a designated bin. Each bag collected will be weighed and recorded monthly until the competition’s end. After the materials are turned in, TREX will transform them into composite lumber, saving the plastic from adding to the landfill or clogging up sorting machines at the recycling center. The winning schools/site—which will be announced on Earth Day, April 22, 2018—will receive a TREX bench.
What can be recycled? PLASTIC FILM ONLY
-Grocery bags
-Bread bags
-Case overwrap

PARENT LOUNGE Are you interested in having a place to hang out at HOA when your students are here onsite? Well, have I got a solution for you! The Nest (where our Parent Connect meetings are), will be open to parents and younger/older homeschooled siblings during hours that students are in activities at HOA. Once activities are over, The Nest will be closed for the day. Please be sure to leave the room as you found it. Let me know if you have any questions.
