Mayo es el mes de la Herencia Asiática-Estadounidense, Nativos de Hawái y de las Islas del Pacífico, el cual está dedicado a celebrar los logros y las contribuciones de los asiáticos, nativos de Hawái y los isleños del Pacífico de los Estados Unidos. Esta conmemoración, que se originó después de la acción del Congreso de EE. UU. en 1997, sirve para resaltar la magnitud de las comunidades asiáticas, nativas hawaianas e isleñas del Pacífico, la cual abarca más de 30 países donde se hablan más de 100 idiomas diferentes y donde las experiencias son igualmente variadas. Durante el mes de mayo e integrado al currículo durante todo el año escolar, celebramos a esta comunidad intencionalmente y honramos sus dones, culturas, historias diversas y contribuciones continuas al Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro y nuestra nación. En nuestras escuelas y salones de clase, dedicamos tiempo a explorar la valiosa historia y cultura de las personas pertenecientes a esta comunidad. Seguimos impartiendo instrucción, aprendiendo y desaprendiendo, reflexionando e incluso condenando la violencia y el odio que se ha dirigido hacia ellos. Trabajamos para reconstruir nuestras comunidades en los salones de clase a medida que elevamos las historias, las contribuciones y las experiencias de estas comunidades con aprecio, empatía e inclusión.Gracias a nuestros estudiantes, personal, familias y miembros de la comunidad asiático-estadounidenses, nativos de Hawái e isleños del Pacífico del Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro que continúan uniéndose a nosotros en los esfuerzos para construir y mantener una cultura de pertenencia. Los admiramos y estamos increíblemente agradecidos por sus talentos, abogacía y brillantez.¡Nuestros estudiantes destacados son los miembros del primer Club de Deportes Electrónicos de Rocket League de Hilhi! Rocket League es un videojuego de deportes en línea en el que equipos de todo Estados Unidos compiten por puntos y premios. El sábado, 12 de abril, compitieron en el Bruin Rocket League Invitational celebrado en George Fox University. El torneo contó con cuatro equipos importantes: Ridgefield, North Eugene, Wilsonville y nuestros propios Spartans. Con Wilsonville y Hilhi ampliamente considerados como los dos mejores equipos del estado, el escenario estaba listo para un enfrentamiento intenso. La competencia comenzó con una fase de grupos (el mejor de tres), donde los Spartans obtuvieron el segundo puesto clasificatorio de cara a la fase eliminatoria, perdiendo solo un partido con un marcador de 1-2 en un ajustado encuentro ante Wilsonville. En la fase eliminatoria, los Spartans comenzaron con fuerza, superando fácilmente las semifinales para ganar una revancha muy esperada contra Wilsonville en la final. Esta vez, Hilhi llegó preparado. Los Spartans marcaron la pauta desde el inicio, ganando el primer partido y nunca miraron atrás. Con un trabajo en equipo dominante, una comunicación clara y jugadas clave, Hilhi derrotó a Wilsonville 4-0 en una serie del mejor de siete para reclamar el título del campeonato. Esta victoria consolida a los Hillsboro Spartans oficialmente como el equipo número uno de Rocket League de las escuelas preparatorias del estado. ¡Felicitaciones y así se hace, equipo Spartans de deportes electrónicos! ¡Nos hacen sentir Orgullosos de Ser HSD!La publicación de Noticias de la Semana se elabora y se envía por correo electrónico a las familias y a los miembros del personal de HSD cada semana durante el año escolar.

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, dedicated to celebrating the achievements and contributions of Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders of the United States. Originating after U.S. Congress action in 1997, this commemoration serves to highlight the vastness of the Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities, which spans more than 30 countries where over 100 different languages are spoken, and where the experiences are equally as varied. During the month of May and integrated into the curriculum throughout the school year, we celebrate our AANHPI community intentionally and honor their gifts, cultures, diverse histories, and continued contributions to the Hillsboro School District and our nation. In our schools and classrooms, we take time to explore the rich history and culture of people who are AANHPI. We continue to teach, learn and unlearn, reflect on and even condemn the violence and hatred that has been directed at the AANHPI community. We work to rebuild our classroom communities as we elevate the stories, contributions, and experiences of the AANHPI communities with love, empathy, and inclusivity. Thank you to our Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Hillsboro School District students, staff, families, and community members who continue to join us in the efforts to build and sustain a culture of belonging. We admire you and we're incredibly thankful for your talents, advocacy, and brilliance. Our featured students are members of Hilhi's first-ever Rocket League Esports Club! Rocket League is an online sport-based video game in which teams compete against others all across the U.S. for points and prizes. On Saturday, April 12, they competed in the Bruin Rocket League Invitational hosted at George Fox University. The tournament featured four top teams: Ridgefield, North Eugene, Wilsonville, and our very own Spartans. With Wilsonville and Hilhi widely regarded as the two best teams in the state, the stage was set for an intense showdown. The competition began with a group stage (best-of-three format), where the Spartans earned the #2 seed heading into bracket play, dropping only one match in a close 1-2 loss to Wilsonville. In bracket play, the Spartans came out strong, cruising through the semifinals to earn a highly anticipated rematch with Wilsonville in the finals. This time, Hilhi came prepared. The Spartans set the tone early, winning the first match—and they never looked back. With dominant teamwork, sharp communication, and clutch plays, Hilhi swept Wilsonville 4-0 in a best-of-seven series to claim the championship title. This win solidifies that the Hillsboro Spartans are officially the #1 High School Rocket League team in the state. Congratulations and way to go, Spartan Esports team!

In this week's episode of Ridgefield Tiger Talk, we welcome back to the show, Kimberly Davis, Library Media Specialist at RHS, and Danny Martins, Department Head for Social Studies. They tell us about an exciting new club called Educators Rising. In this club, our students learn what it takes to become an educator, take on roles and responsibilities in different facets of education, and compete at the local and national level. We are already seeing our students gain many accolades. Thanks for listening!

Today we have a very special guest. From the stages of off-Broadway to the bright lights of Broadway, from his unmistakable voice to his performances in 30+ movies, Harvey Fierstein has spent a lifetime telling stories that matter. With four Tony Awards to his name—two for writing, two for acting—his work in Torch Song Trilogy, La Cage aux Folles, and Hairspray has redefined representation on stage. But beyond the accolades, there's the man: a Brooklyn-born artist whose journey has been shaped by family, resilience, and an unyielding belief in telling the truth. Harvey also has a deep love for sewing and costume design. Before becoming famous Fierstein studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York and worked as a costume designer in the off-off-Broadway world. He has spoken about his passion for sewing in interviews, reminiscing about how he used to design and create costumes for drag performers and theater productions which helped shape his deep understanding of theatrical presentation and character development. His early work in costume design was part of his immersion in the vibrant New York theater community of the 1970s, where he collaborated with experimental and LGBTQ+ artists.Even as his career in theater took off with Torch Song Trilogy and Hairspray, sewing remained a part of his life. He has mentioned that working with fabric and creating garments is a meditative and creative outlet for him. His appreciation for costume design also extends to his theatrical work, where he often acknowledges the impact of great costume designers in bringing characters to life.So today we go beyond the footlights to explore the moments that made him—his early days, the influence of his parents, why Ridgefield, Connecticut became his adopted hometown and, why sewing has been an anchoring thread in his life. (2:15) We welcome the inimitable Harvey Fierstein! He shares how he first picked up sewing—starting with an industrial machine in his father's handkerchief factory—before setting his sights on becoming a Disney animator. But, things changed for him and as Harvey puts it, “Life only changes when you're brave enough to say yes.”(5:27) A deep dive into Harvey's quilting journey, from discovering HGTV and Alex Anderson to creating story-driven quilts today. His first quilt? Alex Anderson's Strips that Sizzle!(9:25) Growing up in a conservative Jewish household, Harvey learned the power of storytelling from his family. Education, art, music, and Broadway were all part of his upbringing, shaping the creative force he became.(11:45) Family isn't just who you're born to—it's also who you find. Harvey talks about his “found family” in the theatre, the people who call him “mama” and “papa,” and what it means to always be true to yourself.(13:32) Ever wonder what a Harvey Fierstein Stitch & Bitch session looks like? He spills all about his quilting experiments and creative process.(16:03) From bold colors to playful designs, Harvey shares his favorite fabrics and how he keeps things fresh alternating between challenging and just plain silly projects.(20:15) Picking a favorite quilt is like picking a favorite child—but Harvey gives it a shot!(23:20) The costumes that left a mark: Harvey reflects on the magic of theatrical costumes, the collaborative art of design, and why theatre itself is an act of faith.(27:07) Favorite roles—on stage, in film, and yes, even Death to Smoochy!(30:30) Writing his memoir I Was Better Last Night was a journey in itself. Harvey shares what inspired him to put his life on paper.(31:20) When did he finally feel accepted? And what really led him to move Torch Song Trilogy to Broadway? It's not the story you think!(32:31) A mother always knows! The moment Harvey's mom saw her own earrings on him during Torch Song Trilogy—and her priceless reaction.(34:00) What's the secret to his success? According to Harvey, it's all about taking that unexpected fork in the road.(38:38) The quilting class that changed everything: What Harvey learned from Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably and Liza Lucy.(39:10) Quilting vs. theatre—two creative worlds, two very different communities. Harvey compares the two.(40:54) The key to keeping every performance fresh? Harvey reveals how he does it.(43:06) Why Bridgefield, CT has been home for 40 years—and how Harvey's house reflects is unique perspective on life and art.(46:00) “As much as it hurts, tell the truth.” Harvey explains how this philosophy, shaped by his father, has guided his life and career.(47:25) What's next—what's left on Harvey's bucket list?(52:18) Want to connect with Harvey?
