Holiday Treats for Teachers and Staff!

As the holidays approach, let’s show the HHS faculty and staff how much we appreciate them all year long! The PTSO is asking parents and students to participate in our Holiday Treat Table this Thursday, December 18. HHS PTSO elves will set up the treat table for the staff to enjoy in the alumni hall as they fill up their own container to take home. Click HERE to sign up!

Online Spirit Wear Store

Shopping for holiday goodies? Don’t forget about our amazing online spirit wear store. Customized Burro hoodies, crewnecks, t-shirts, hats, and sweatpants (and more) make great gifts! Visit our site today: hillsborospiritwear.com

Concessions and Spirit Wear Volunteers

Workers are needed for concessions AND spirit wear sales during every home basketball game this season (games start up again after winter break), so please click HERE and sign up for a shift if you can! If you are the parent of a Hillsboro athlete, your volunteer shift counts toward PTSO support of your child’s sport (senior banners, access to Burro athletic funds if needed). Hot tip: corral a few of your friends and sign up to work a shift together!

Teacher Favs

Twizzlers and almonds and Dutch Brothers coffee … these are a few of our teachers’ favorite things. How do we know? There’s a whole list of them HERE, just in case you need a little help completing your holiday shopping this year.
