Throwback to our Pi Day celebration in March before spring break! Students had a great time rotating through hands-on discovery activities, games, crafts, and friendly competitions. We wrapped it all up with some perfectly “round” treats like pizza and cookies.

Our K-2 students turned science into art today! 🎨✨
After learning about acids and bases, they explored chemical reactions by creating lemon prints and using acid-based watercolors to design beautiful (and fragrant!) floral bouquets 🍋🌸
Learning has never smelled so sweet!

At Hillsborough Virtual School, learning goes beyond academics—it’s about how students feel, too.
😊 Understanding emotions
🌬️ Managing stress
🤝 Building relationships

When students feel their best, they do their best—online and beyond.
