FEATURED STUDENTS: Miller Education Center 
On June 2 and 3, students in Bill Patten's Drama class at MEC West performed the play "Peter Pan" for fellow students, family members and friends. Students handled all aspects of the production, from designing and creating the backdrops and props to acting their parts. Then, on Wednesday, June 8, students in MEC East's Connect program (work readiness and GED preparation for youth ages 16-21) worked with the Hillsboro Chamber's Leadership class to complete restoration and beautification projects at Jackson Bottom Wetlands as part of the Leadership class's Community Service Day.

Grant Recipients Announced
Congratulations to the staff members who recently earned grants from the Hillsboro Schools Foundation (HSF) and through the District's Innovation Grant program. HSF annually solicits applications from staff members who have innovative project ideas for their students. This year, ten grants were awarded in support of such projects as Coloring Connections at Evergreen Middle School to Let's Get Down to Biscuits at Miller Education Center. This year's District Innovation Grants focused on professional learning communities and the combination of strong pedagogy, learning environments (furniture), and technology to effect great outcomes for students.
