๐ช Finishing the school year strong!
Kuna community
As we prepare to enter our last week of school, it's been wonderful to celebrate the accomplishments of our students and staff.
Congratulations to our Initial Point High School and Kuna High School graduates and their families!
I encourage you to follow our school and district social media sites to see all the photos and videos from various special events and celebration.
With summer around the corner, we've included a list of summer activities for families available in our community in this newsletters. I invite you to help keep kids reading during the summer by participating in our Kuna Library's summer reading program which launches the Saturday after school ends June 3.
Enjoy this short break for the Memorial Day holiday Monday, and we look forward to welcoming back students Tuesday!
