Thank you, Hoglan Social Media Team: Mrs. Sellers, Ms. Becerra, Miss Garth, and Mr. Cutright, for your creativity and commitment to showcasing learning at Hoglan Elementary!

🏆 The Social Media Traveling Trophy has a new home!

For the past two years, our Social Media Ambassador Program has highlighted the incredible stories, achievements, and everyday moments that make our schools special. Ambassadors participate in monthly learning sessions and share content through creative challenges throughout the year.

The Social Media Traveling Trophy recognizes the school whose ambassador team demonstrated outstanding creativity, engagement, and commitment to telling their school's story. The trophy remains at the winning school until the next recipient is named.

Congratulations to Hoglan Elementary School on being named the 2025–26 Social Media Traveling Trophy recipient!

Thank you to the Hoglan ambassador team for helping showcase the learning, connections, and successes happening in your school each day. We also extend our appreciation to all of our Social Media Ambassadors across the district for sharing the stories that help keep our community informed, connected, and engaged.

Last week, our amazing 3rd graders wrapped up their CKLA unit on Colonial America! 🎉 To celebrate this milestone, we had a fantastic pausing point day filled with fun colonial games like marbles, jacks, hula hooping, and hopscotch! 🫶 It was such a joy to see the kids engaged and enjoying these timeless activities. Their laughter and excitement truly brought history to life! 🌟

Hoglan 4th graders had a special visit from MHS Orchestra Director Derek Claussen and several MHS orchestra members 🎻. Students learned the names of the string instruments and heard how each one makes a different pitch 🎼🎶.

Thank you, Mr. Claussen and team, for sharing your passion and love for orchestra — you probably sparked many students to give orchestra a try! 👏🎶✨
