SCIENCE FAIR Our annual Science Fair at HOA will be April 13, right here in our gym, from 6:30-7:30. We are allowed to select 10 participants to represent HOA at the District Science Fair on Thursday, May 4. All grade levels have the ability to be chosen. I am looking for 4-5 parents to volunteer as judges on April 13 from 12:00-1:00. Volunteer judges will be interviewing students, grading projects with a rubric, and helping select the 10 projects to go to the District Science Far. Please let me know if you're interested.
RECYCLE CONTEST Every school in the Hillsboro School District is competing against each other to see who can collect the most plastic film to be recycled. The winning school gets a new TREX bench! Lets win this contest! Examples of plastic film include shopping bags, ziplock bags, pellet bags, dry cleaning bags, etc. The plastic must be clean and food-free. You can bring your plastic film in anytime between now and April 15. So far, HOA has collected over108.4 POUNDS of plastic film! Great job families! Keep it up!
