📣 Special Visitor at Hillsboro Elementary! 🏫💛💙
Today, our students had the honor of meeting the WVU Mountaineer! He spoke about the importance of school and staying committed to learning. The kids were full of great questions—asking about his responsibilities, his iconic rifle, and how long he serves as the Mountaineer. 🗣️🎓
We wrapped up the visit with a group photo to remember this inspiring day. Thank you to the WVU Mountaineer for encouraging our students and bringing Mountaineer pride to Hillsboro! 🌄🪵

The kindergarten class raised caterpillars and fed them milkweed, their favorite food! They watched them grow, form chrysalises, and finally become beautiful butterflies.

After reading Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis,
Ms. Mitchell's 5th-grade class dove deeper into the history of the Great Depression by creating their own miniature Hoovervilles. Inspired by the book’s depiction of these makeshift communities, students used cardboard, fabric, and other recycled materials to build shelters that reflected the struggles and resilience of people during that time. This hands-on project helped students connect literature to real-world history.
