Featured Event: Singer and TV Personality Carnie Wilson Visits Mooberry Elementary School
Carnie Wilson of Wilson Phillips fame visited Mooberry Elementary School on Thursday, November 18, to commemorate the launch of her nutritious breakfast product “Smart Cookie,” which is the result of a unique collaboration between her company, Love Bites by Carnie, and the Hillsboro School District. Wilson talked to students in the cafeteria and got their feedback on the product (which was universally positive!), then stopped by a couple of classrooms before departing. Many thanks to Wilson and her team, as well as to Mooberry staff and students who were incredibly expressive, kind, and welcoming. Wilson remarked that it may have been the best thing she’s ever done!
