From November 8 to December 15, 2021, Hillsboro Online Academy staff member Cayla Van Loo held a sock drive called “Project Twinkle Toes” to benefit nonprofit organizations With Love and Project Lemonade, both of which support kids in foster care. Her goal was to collect 1,000 pairs of socks and by the end nearly twice that amount had been donated by students, families, and fellow staff members. Way to go Cayla and the HOA community! - you make us proud to be HSD!
