✨☕ A Fancy Day for Our Little Learners! ☕✨
1st Grade students had a wonderful time visiting the Hillsboro Public House for a very special fancy tea party! Parents were invited to attend, making the day even more meaningful as students shared this sweet experience with their families. 💕
The students enjoyed tea, lemonade, and even got to choose a delicious snack—such a treat! 🍰🫖
Before their outing, Ms. Susan helped set the stage by reading two delightful stories, Fancy Nancy and the Tea Party and Miss Spider’s Tea Party, which made the experience even more magical. 📚✨
We would like to send a huge THANK YOU to the Hillsboro Public House for being so generous and allowing us to have our tea party there. Your kindness helped create such a special and memorable day for our students and families! 💐

🐷🐴 Petting Zoo Fun at Hillsboro Elementary! 🦆🐑
Last week, Hillsboro Elementary enjoyed a wonderful visit from a petting zoo, and our students had the best time! We want to extend a huge thank you to LeAnna Boggs, Donald McNeel, Bethany McCoy, and Amy Hefner for bringing all the animals and making this experience possible.
The kids loved seeing and petting all the animals, including pigs, a pony, sheep, chicks, ducks, a cow and calf, and goats. It was a hands-on learning experience that they will be talking about for a long time!
Thank you again for sharing your time, animals, and kindness with our students—we truly appreciate it! 💙🐾
