Volunteers Needed Oct. 14-24

Hilburn PTA will be staffing the NC State Fair Field of Dreams exhibit from October 14-24! The Field of Dreams’ founder Carl Tart, grandfather of a former Hilburn student, arranged for the exhibit to benefit Hilburn a decade ago. This exhibit includes a coloring contest, mini John Deere tractor rides, rabbits, a turkey and a bonus photo area where families can take a snapshot from their day on the “farm.” Children are invited to spend time on the fair’s miniature farm where they traverse specialty gardens making connections between the food they see growing and the food they love to see on their plates!  Click here to sign up today! 
​
Volunteer responsibilities include:
  • Stock each table with crayons and an un-colored sheet
  • Collect sheets that have been colored and organize by age group
  • Judge coloring winners by age group
  • Keep the coloring area tidy
There is  free entry and a parking pass for the day for each volunteer.  When you volunteer, you can then enjoy the fair either before/after your shift and avoid the entry fee ($13 Gate Admission) and the parking hassle ($5 for Park & Ride to $20 for private lot).  Parking for volunteers is in a designated area with shuttle service to the fair entrance.  You can pickup your envelope with instructions, parking pass and fair map from the Hilburn front office during school hours.

​School Reassignment Draft 

Several Hilburn PTA Board members and members of our Hilburn Family attended the District 7 Board Advisory Council meeting on 9/23 at Leesville High School.  Glenn Carrozza, Senior Director Office of Student Assignment, shared information that is taken into consideration when school base areas are reassigned.  Barton Pond, a new traditional-calendar elementary school, will be opening in Fall of 2022, causing changes to many schools' base student assignments, including Hilburn Academy.  We encourage all parents to read Draft 1 of the reassignment plan once it’s proposed on October 5th.  More information will be posted here when available.

​Timeline for Student Assignment Plan:
October 5 - Draft 1 Release (details HERE)
November 16 - Draft 2 Release
TBD - Public Hearing
​December 7 - Final Draft for Board Vote
