5th grade is currently reading books about plant and animal cells. Since our book discussed microscopes, students had the opportunity to examine different fibers under microscopes in class. They learned how to properly focus the microscopes and were able to observe the unique structures of the fibers.
Mr. Strand and Ms. McKinnon’s 4th grade classes went to Marketplace for Kids at Mayville State University! They learned so much! Vet 101, Aviation, Money, Nursing, and more! ✈️🩺🚒
🍂 Mrs. Podoll’s first graders went on a leaf hunt! They read Why Do Leaves Change Colors? and learned how shorter days and cooler temperatures cause trees to stop making as much chlorophyll, the pigment that makes leaves green. As the green fades, other pigments are revealed, showing off the beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows
We love seeing learning come to life through real-world experiences and watching our students’ curiosity and wonder grow! ❤️🧡💛
Mrs. Wright’s Kindergarteners and Ms. McKinnon’s 4th Graders had a spook-tacular time creating skeletons last week! 🎃
Please reach out to the school if you're interested in becoming a substitute teacher!
The first grade classes celebrated making their reading goal with a walk to Sundae Brew. They read, “If You Give a Dog a Donut”, while eating donuts and juice! A giant “thank you” to Sundae Brew for inviting them in and to the Burro Village FTO for making the funds happen!
Student Mentor Kate Spokely and Bryce Miller joined Mr. Strand's 4th Grade Class for their Spelling Football matchup, the day after a big volleyball win and the day of the last Burro Football game this fall!
Good morning Hillsboro Families and Community Members,
Some of you have probably heard that a Hillsboro Bus was in an accident this morning. Our bus driver saw a vehicle coming towards him erratically on Highway 81 south of Hillsboro. Our bus driver slowed and was going between 25 and 30 miles per hour when the car hit the front driver's side of the bus. Our bus driver is fine. He called the accident in and the driver of the other vehicle was taken to a hospital in Fargo. There were no students on the bus yet as the driver was on his way to his first stop. Thank you to the parents that brought your children to school today and thank you to those that were patient as we sent another bus out. The students will be brought home by our bus driver this afternoon, so they will all get a chance to see that he is ok.
Thank you,
Jon Dryburgh
Superintendent of Hillsboro Public School

Miss Carignan’s class has been reading the book “What Lives In a Shell?” during ELA, and today they brought the lesson to life. The students had a blast exploring a variety of real shells, practicing their math skills by counting, sorting, and categorizing them by shape, size, and texture. It was the perfect hands-on way to wrap up our reading!

🌱🔬 SCIENCE IN ACTION! 🌎🐾
Today, Mr. Owen's Real World Biology class took part in the Envirothon at Icelandic State Park, and they represented HHS with curiosity, teamwork, and real grit! 💪🌿
The Envirothon is a hands-on environmental science competition where students tackle real-world challenges involving soils, aquatics, forestry, wildlife, and current environmental issues—combining classroom knowledge with outdoor problem-solving.
We are so proud of the way our students applied their learning, supported one another, and showed what it looks like to put science into action! 👏🌎
Way to go, Burros! 💙💛
