Parents! In regards to UIL, our coordinator was just informed (late yesterday afternoon) that parents will not be allowed in the building at Borden County. If parents are interested in picking their children up from UIL, you are welcome to let us know ahead of time or contact the school the day of at 432-466-9727 (a cell phone that will be at the event) to check your child/children out from UIL at Borden County!
Hello all! We have a couple of things in regards to JH and elementary UIL that will take place this Thursday and Friday. First off, Borden County will NOT be allowing parents in the rooms during speaking events. This does not mean that parents can't attend, but just know that you will not be allowed in the rooms to hear your child perform. Second, all notes with information on when your kids will be leaving and returning will go home today. Please check their backpacks this afternoon! Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grades had a fantastic day at Flying Y Farms! Many of the Pre-K and Kinder kids were super excited about riding a school bus for the first time!
DeAnn Yates took the students through her high tunnels and explored all of the gardens. They even got to eat a farm fresh carrot and feed the tops to the chickens! They learned about beneficial bugs and harmful bugs and weeds.
Samantha Borgstedt had fresh pumpkin, pecan, and banana bread for the students to sample, as well as pear and peach jams made from homegrown fruit. The students learned about the fresh ingredients used to make the breads! They got to see a cotton plant up close and touch the fiber and seeds.
Thank you to Flying Y Farms for hosting this event! We look forward to many more educational field trips with you!
