🌳💙 In Loving Memory of Dr. Sue Hollandsworth 💙🌳
Today, the students and staff of Hillsboro Elementary came together to plant an apple tree in memory of Dr. Sue Hollandsworth—a beloved teacher, former principal of Hillsboro Elementary, and dedicated member of the Pocahontas County Board of Education.
Dr. Hollandsworth’s impact on our school and community is immeasurable. Her passion for education, her leadership, and her love for students will always be a part of Hillsboro Elementary.
This apple tree will serve as a living tribute to her legacy, reminding us each day of the seeds she planted in the lives of so many. A memorial plaque will soon be placed at the tree in her honor.
We are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate her life and the lasting difference she made. ❤️

💙❤️ We are so proud of our kindergarten class! ❤️💙
Our kindergarteners were the top fundraisers in this year’s American Heart Association Fundraiser, and we couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and big hearts!
As a special reward, they were treated to a wonderful visit from Kasha, a service dog from Green Bank Elementary School. 🐾 The students absolutely loved spending time with Kasha and learning more about her important job.
Thank you to everyone who supported our students and helped make this fundraiser a success—it truly makes a difference! 💙

Hillsboro Elementary School was excited to welcome our HES Partners in Education, the Friends of Hillsboro Library, last week! ❤️
They spent time with our 4th and 5th-grade students teaching a very valuable life skill—sewing! 🧵✨ Students discovered how to hand stitch and even had the opportunity to sew their own pillows using a machine.
We are so grateful for this hands-on learning experience and the time, care, and expertise shared with our students. These are skills they will carry with them for years to come!
Thank you, Friends of Hillsboro Library, for making learning meaningful and fun! 💙

🎴✨ Learning Through Play! ✨🎴
Our 2nd- and 3rd-grade students had a great time learning different card games! Not only were they having fun, but they were also building important skills like critical thinking, strategy, cooperation, and problem-solving.
Playing card games is a wonderful way for students to learn while they play — and the smiles around the room showed just how much they enjoyed it! 😊

🧪✨ Science in Action in 5th Grade! ✨🧪
Our 5th grade students have been exploring the fascinating world of density through a hands-on experiment—stacking liquids! 🥛🛢️🍯
Students carefully poured different liquids to see how each one layered based on its density. It was exciting to watch the liquids form colorful layers right before their eyes! 🎨
This fun and engaging activity helped bring science concepts to life as students observed, predicted, and discovered how density works in the real world.
Great job, 5th grade scientists—we love seeing learning come to life! 👏🔬

Parents and Community Members,
Early today a call was received at Pocahontas County High School that required a school lockdown and notification to law enforcement. Once on scene at the high school and out of an abundance of caution our Sheriff's Department recommended lockdown at all schools while they investigated. We are dismissing on a regular schedule. We thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate this situation of keeping all students and staff safe.
