Hinckley-Big Rock CUSD #429

At the November 15th Board of Education meeting, two groups were honored with a Royal Shout Out. Mrs. Therriault and her students shared about the learning that happens on the farm with the partnership of Farm Friends, LLC in Big Rock, and Mrs. Slater and her 4th/5th grade choir were honored for their work in the elementary school Veteran's Day celebration and performed the Armed Forces Medley for us.

Grateful for this group of 7 who volunteer their time and service for the HBR community! #RoyalPride #TogetherWeAreHBR
