Casey from Future Generations University returned to HES for a second year to assist students with maple tree tapping. Students collected sap daily, which the Sawn family then took to their Hillsboro Maple Works farm for maple syrup production. As a token of appreciation, the Sawn family gave the staff and students at HES a bottle of maple syrup. FGU also provided Appalachian maple recipes and stories.
Hillsboro Elementary would like to announce their teacher and service personnel of the year. Teacher- Jenny Calhoun
Service- Heather Simmons
