This free virtual event has been curated for families and community members in the Boise area who have been impacted by suicide loss, suicidal ideation/attempts, or are interested in advocating for mental health and wellness.
Thank you parents for helping us remind our students! 😃
- We just wanted to send a little note to remind parents to check out the LOST & FOUND (see picture) before Thanksgiving break. Our LOST & FOUND is stuffed to the max with jackets, sweaters, and coats! If they are not claimed by Thanksgiving break they will be donated. PLEASE don't let your child’s jacket, sweater, or coat be left behind and donated. So stop by the school anytime (even during the weekend) before Thanksgiving break.

Library News from our amazing Librarian, Mrs. Bostrom
Congratulations to Miss Elizabeth Allen....
the librarian for her class!
Safety FIRST!
Here's to our safety patrols this month!
Help us thank our patrols for the month: Nate Islas, Kallie Smith, Hattie Holladay, Moi Mateiwaii, Zane Rice, Tyson Bjork, Emma Ode, Sophia Buliwengu
Reminders: We have had a few close calls with cars driving right past us and not stopping for pedestrians, please slow down and be safe. Please keep the crosswalks clear when parking near the four corners, by the bike rack crossing area, or in the parking lot. Our crossing guards will ask you to move your vehicle to a safe location.
If you are riding your bike to school, please remember to walk it across the crosswalks. We have a small entrance to the rear parking lot and you must walk your bike from the four corners at Cabarton and be crossed by the patrol to the bike racks. Thank you for your support.
