School District of Hillsboro

Last week, the first graders participated in an author study! They studied author and illustrator Norman Bridwell, who entertained students with his beloved character Clifford! The students made their own Clifford in art class with Miss S.! #HSDGoTigers

Kindergarteners got creative last week making Christmas trees and decorating Christmas cookies! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud

Middle school students worked to “Unlock the North Pole” through a life-size math game board! #HSDGoTigers

Mrs. Seifert and #HSDGoTigers from the elementary school sang Christmas carols to students during lunch!

These first grade Tigers had a blast learning about code in #STEM with Mrs. Barreau! #HSDGoTigers

These biology students were measuring surface area and volume to learn about the benefits of having small cells vs. big cells! #HSDGoTigers

It's that time again to recognize the people that make Hillsboro awesome! This week's staff member is our Middle and High School Administrative Assistant, Rose Davey! Thanks for all you do! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud

Just clowning around for this #TBT! #HSDGoTigers

Christmas tree....check! Ornaments....check! Math facts practiced in a fun, new way....check! These third graders are getting into the holiday spirit and practicing math facts this week! #HSDGoTigers

Students in the art room love using the tessellation blocks! Third graders from Mrs. Ross’s class used them to make this tigers sign with some tiger paws. These #HSDGoTigers are quite creative!

The Hillsboro FBLA teamed up with the W-C FBLA for the 8th Annual Pack the Gym Event during the varsity boys basketball game last Friday! The event consisted of several fundraising events and so far over $1000 has been raised for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Way to go Tigers! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud

Thank you to everyone who made it out for the holiday concert on Monday! We are so proud to have such talented students! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud

Just enjoying some pictionary in Spanish class! #HSDGoTigers

After following each clue, Mrs. Clark's class ended right where they began their journey to enjoy some popsicles, left behind as a gift from a very sneaky Elf! #HSDGoTigers

The First Grade classes were visited by an Elf who left a map of the Elementary School and a set of clues! The object was to find Something Cool. It is a good thing that these #HSDGoTigers learned how to read maps to locate things and places by using map keys! They also learned how to navigate using directional words such as: North, South, East, and West (Never Eat Soggy Waffles). Way to go Tigers!

Check out these awesome vector portraits made by the very talented graphics design students! #HSDGoTigers

These #HSDGoTigers had some very special visitors last week!

Last month, the computer science class learned about some of the many ways computer science is currently being used in the military. SSG Robert Lee Shumaker II SSG and SSG Brent Mciver provided a presentation on CS technology in the military and gave a demonstration of the Packbot. This robot is a multi-mission tactical mobile robot developed and manufactured by iRobot. It is designed for use by war fighters and first responders to carry out dangerous missions in high-threat battlefield scenarios. The robot is controlled by a mechanism very similar to controllers used for gaming. These controllers, combined with cameras mounted on the robot, allow soldiers to drive the robot in remote locations. After the demonstration, students were able to practice driving this robot using the controller and mounted cameras! #HSDGoTigers

Based on the quality of their work, several Hillsboro creative writing students were invited to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point High School Writers' Workshop! They were honored with lunch, had the opportunity to attend workshops led by college professors, and participated in an open mic. The keynote speaker was author Kim Suhr, who also led a workshop and even took time to sign copies of her book for a couple of our students! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud

So much December fun in this classroom! These #HSDGoTigers had a blast playing in their gingerbread house, decorating their own trees, and rolling out confetti Playdoh cookies!
