FEATURED EVENT: First Tech Groundbreaking and Donation to Hillsboro Schools Foundation
On Monday, May 8, First Tech Credit Union held a groundbreaking event on the property surrounding the District's Administration Center on 49th Place. First Tech purchased the property to be the future home of their Oregon headquarters. As part of the ceremony, First Tech presented the Hillsboro Schools Foundation with a check for $34,000 to help fund Innovative Grants and STEM kits for Hillsboro schools. Thank you so much, First Tech!

HAPPENING IN HILLSBORO

  
Host families are needed from August 2017 through June 2018 for Chinese teachers in residency at four of our schools: Jackson and Ladd Acres Elementary, and Brown and Evergreen Middle Schools. Host families benefit from the international exchange by learning about Chinese culture and language while sharing a slice of American life! They also receive a monthly stipend to help with costs. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Sonta Thompson, 503-844-1500.

 
Take the Block 67 Survey
The City of Hillsboro is seeking feedback on what types of spaces should be included in the build-out of "Block 67," the former Hank's property bordered by 6th and 7th Avenues and Baseline and SE Oak Streets. But hurry - the survey closes on Monday, May 15.

Click-It or Ticket Enforcement Blitz May 15-28
The Hillsboro Police Department, along with other Oregon law enforcement agencies, will pay particular attention to proper seat belt use during a nationwide traffic enforcement blitz May 15-28. Oregon crash data for 2015 shows lack of belt use in 27 percent of daytime and 50 percent of nighttime crashes. ODOT estimates that at least half of those who died unbelted, or 67 people, could have been saved if everyone used seat belts on every trip. Please be safe, buckle up and encourage your teenage drivers to do the same!
