FEATURED EVENT: Proud to be HSD Festival
|
Our Community is Proud to be HSD!
We had fantastic weather and great turnout for our first annual Proud to be HSD Festival, held on Saturday, May 30, in conjunction with the Hillsboro Farmers Market. Although the event was full of amazing moments, a highlight had to
be the Mascot Challenge, where several of our school mascots and a special guest, the Duracell battery, accepted the invitation from Hillsboro Hops' mascot Barley to compete for mascot supremacy. The mascots represented their schools well in hilarious activities that included cupstacking, a dance-off, musical chairs, and an obstacle course. Sparty from Hillsboro High School qualified for the final competition against Barley, but an inadvertent, dizzying detour on the obstacle course cost Sparty the win. Click here to see a video of the challenge. Congratulations to our winner Barley, and great job to all the good sports who participated! Many thanks to everyone who helped make the festival happen and to all those who visited us throughout the day. We are already looking ahead to next year's event and are all proud to be HSD!

IMLAY'S READING RESTAURANT
|
Second-grade students at Imlay Elementary served up a "Reading Restaurant" for their parents, grandparents and special guests, an event celebrating their work toward reading fluency. Before their grand opening, students designed and wrote menus that included appetizers (poems), an entr?e choice (fiction or non-fiction story), and dessert (jokes). After practicing their menu choices, the young waiters and waitresses invited patrons into the restaurant to be served (read to). The meal was complete with a comment card and a mint! One Reading Restaurant reviewer gave the venue the superb rating of four stars!

Offering free mental health awareness and intervention trainings
|
| 
Mental health providers in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties have joined together to create a system where community members can register for free mental health first aid trainings. Statistics show that you are more likely to encounter someone in a mental health or emotional crisis than you are someone having a heart attack. Therefore, knowing how to help is critical. Free trainings are available in the tri-county area to anyone over 18 to teach participants how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of a person experiencing a mental health challenge, and learn how to connect those people with the resources they need to get help.

BE THE MATCH FIREFIGHTER CHALLENGE
|
|
Marrow donor registry drive is June 12 and 13 at the North Plains Fire Station
|
Students in Liberty's Fire Science Program are encouraging people to accept the Be the Match Firefighter Challenge and sign up for the bone marrow donor registry. Their effort is fueled by the desire to find a suitable match for 16-year-old Christopher Duran Hernandez, brother of a former Liberty Fire Science student, who has acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Christopher attended Groner and Farmington View Elementary Schools, and South Meadows Middle School, before he became too ill to attend school. Click here to read more.
