FEATURED EVENT: Youth Invasion
On Thursday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the City of Hillsboro hosted its fifth annual Youth Invasion event at the Civic Center, where 286 high school students had the chance to interact with current City staff members and learn more about the wide variety of jobs that are available in city government. Their day started with a keynote address about career and college pathways delivered by HSD administrators Travis Reiman and Brooke Nova, and City administrators Michael Brown and Robby Hammond. Following that, students attended three sessions, from among 26 offered, on career areas that interested them. Staff members shared information on the types of opportunities available right out of high school, after earning a certificate or two-year degree, and with a four-year degree or higher. After the sessions, students and staff enjoyed food carts, face painting, and a photo booth.

| Stay Healthy this Cold and Flu Season |
 |
Cold and flu season has already begun, but there are things you can do to keep yourself and your children healthier. Prevention measures include washing your hands frequently, getting lots of rest, drinking plenty of fluids, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth. The single best thing you can do to avoid getting the flu, however, is getting a flu shot! Your doctor, several local pharmacies, and our own
school-based health center at Century High School are all places you and/or your child can get a flu shot. Our website has several resources on
disease prevention and
when to keep your child home if they are sick.
