Kindergarten: Beginning in September, Aldie, Hillsboro and Lincoln elementary schools will have full-day regular kindergarten classes. There will be 25 spaces available at each school for the full-day program. Students who reside outside the areas for the schools may apply for enrollment under the school board’s “under-enrolled policy.” A teacher's assistant will be assigned full-time to any full-day kindergarten class of more than 15 students. Call Hillsboro Elementary for more information at 703-771-6730.
Dual primary: A dual primary for the 10th District seat of the House of Representatives will take place Tuesday, June 10, at the Hillsboro Elementary School from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Rummage sale: The Ladies' Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital is seeking donations for its 70th annual rummage sale scheduled for Oct. 17-18 at the Morven Park Equestrian Center just north of Leesburg off U.S. 15 north. All proceeds benefit the hospital. To donate, call 703-771-2985 and leave a message. A member will return your call and set up a convenient time and place to meet. Help the Ladies' Board celebrate 70 years of giving to the community by donating your usable items to its rummage sale.
Fireworks: The HCA Fourth of July celebration will take place Saturday, July 5, at 5 p.m. The HCA relies on generous contributions for this family-oriented, fun festivity. The fund has about $1,600 now and, therefore, the HCA needs to raise an additional $4,000. The HCA’s annual membership drive is also under way. To join or renew your membership and/or to make a donation to HCA or its fireworks fund, please use the form on the Web site, www.hillsborova.org, and mail it to HCA, 37016 Charles Town Pike, Purcellville, VA 20132.
