FEATURED EVENT: Stickworks Public Art Project at Orenco Woods Nature Park
Hillsboro is thrilled and honored to be hosting renowned artist Patrick Dougherty (pictured far left) for a collaborative public art project in the new Orenco Woods Nature Park. Called "Stickworks," the project involves the creation of whimsical structures out of willow branches. Century Art students and their teacher, Rebecca Buchanan, snagged a handful of the 100 coveted volunteer slots and helped build the structures on Thursday, April 13. The public is welcome and invited to watch the structures being made between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. through Friday, April 21.

Superintendent Coffee Chats
|
|
UPCOMING
EVENTS
APRIL
|
|
|
Superintendent Scott will host two Coffee Chats this week as an opportunity to connect with parents and other community patrons in a casual setting. Tuesday's Chat will take place from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., at the new Insomnia in downtown Hillsboro, 317 E. Main St. Wednesday's chat is currently slated to take place from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at the South Store Café in Scholls, 24485 SW Scholls Ferry Rd. Sadly, however, the owner passed away last week and the Café has been closed as a result. If they are able to re-open, we would love to support them and keep our Chat at that location, but, if they are not open, we will select a new location. A final decision will be made and posted to our events calendar by Tuesday at 3 p.m.
