Box Tops for Education going digital. A new app allows you to scan (take a picture of) your grocery receipt and give direct credit to your school. Download the Apple app or the Google Play app to ditch the scissors and get started. Products participating will have this non-snippable logo:

As an incentive to get people converted to the new scanning method, from now until November 15, all receipts scanned into the app with box tops on them enter our school into a contest toward a $20,000 school makeover.

A lot is happening in the library. Read Ms. Calverley’s newsletter below to learn about the upcoming book fair, volunteer needs and more.

To wrap up the 4th grade Science Engineering Unit, Jack O’Neil, a mechanical engineer of IC Thomasson, came to speak to Mrs. Eberle’s class. Jack shared the plans of his current project with the students. This was a great opportunity for the students to see the “real world application” of what they had learned in the classroom. 

Teacher Appreciation celebrated the teachers and staff by hosting a breakfast that included bagels and pastries from Star Bagel. The group also provided coffee, juice, casseroles and quiches. It was another fun way to say thank you for everything they do.

Families from all Hillsboro cluster schools are invited to dress up and get treats at Hillsboro’s Prospective Family Open House and Trunk or Treat on Tuesday, Oct. 29. Academies, clubs, teams and other groups will hand out treats and showcase the opportunities available at Hillsboro High School.

Students Finn Murphree and Ellie Mac DeGiron helped dads Barry Murphree and Ryan Ervin plant a red maple, a tulip poplar and a Rose of Sharon in the school garden and on the playground. The Tulip Poplar, donated by Barry, is that state tree of Tennessee.
