Reminder

Early Release Days

Due to parent-teacher conferences taking place this week, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be early release days at 1:30 pm.

If you have not yet signed up for a conference time, please reach out to your child's teacher so they can help you schedule a time. We love our students and can't wait to share about the exciting things happening in the classroom and to brag on your child. It is also a great opportunity to bring up any concerns or questions you may have. We encourage all famiies to meet with their teacher!

Fall Book Fair

While you're here, we welcome you to stop into our annual fall book fair! Mrs. Stringer, our librarian, works closely with Idaho Book Fairs to offer a wide variety of children's and young adult books.

All money earned from books purchased at the book fair this fall goes directly back to our library so we can purchase new and highly requested books for our amazing Wildcats!

School Canceled - Tuesday, November 5th

The Kuna Board of Trustees has canceled school on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, due to safety concerns. Some of our schools are polling places, and higher turnout is expected with the Presidential Election. West Ada and Boise school districts have also canceled school. Please remember, there will be no school on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Campus Facelift

Volunteer Group Updates Blacktop

Last weekend, an amazing group of about 30 individuals from Stonehill Church donated time, labor, and paint to give our playground and blacktop areas a fresh coat of paint. Even the pick-up box out front got a face lift!

We are so grateful for our community partners who dedicate their time and resources to help better our school for all to enjoy. Thank you, Stonehill Church, for your generousity and time! Our students and staff have loved being able to see the lines again and are loving the two new games you provided for us!

Jog-a-thon Total and Prizes

Grand Total

Thanks to our supportive community and our wildcat's hard work, our school was able to bring in a grand total of $19,352.75! Way to go, wildcats!

We are thrilled to be able to use this money for necessary supplies and materials in classrooms and to start working toward our goal of a new play structure. Every penny counts!
