Fourth Quarter is here, and the next nine weeks
are going to fly by. Spring Break couldn’t have
come at a better time. Students and staff were
ready for their much deserved break, and now we
are refreshed and ready to finish the year
strong.
Naples and Mt. Hall are gearing up for the ISAT.
The third, fourth, and fifth graders have been
working hard, and our teachers have done a
tremendous job preparing them for the task
ahead. A huge thank you to Jennifer Bonar and
Kelli Ripatti, who have spent the year getting
the students familiar with the computer, as the
test is all computer-based.
I’m excited to see how all of our hard work has
paid off.
Naples is also getting ready to welcome an
artist based out of Boise to our school for a
residency project. The project is focused around
building community and integrated with writing
skills. The kindergarteners, first graders and
second graders all will read a different story
and then complete a project based around it.
The artist will come and guide the students
through an interpretive dance that will be
performed for parents and the third, fourth and
fifth graders.
We are excited for this year’s program! This
project would not have been possible without the
incredible leadership of Miss Molly Cochell.
Mt. Hall’s fifth grade is preparing for spring
with a hydroponics project. Mrs. Lyndsay Hart
and Mrs. Myrna Myers have challenged the kids to
start thinking of different farming practices.
The students are anxious to see their plants
grow using this innovative approach.
Mrs. Laura Nishek and the fourth grade have just
completed an Iditarod project. The students
researched the Iditarod and followed the journey
of the brave mushers and dogs as they made the
incredible journey across Alaska’s tough
terrain.
I always enjoy watching the younger students
walk by these projects in the hallway. Their
eyes get big with excitement, and I can tell
they are looking forward to what’s to come.
If you have a future Wolverine or Wildcat who is
planning on attending kindergarten next fall,
make sure to call the schools for a kindergarten
registration appointment!
Mt. Hall’s kindergarten registration will be on
Thursday, April 20. You can call Beth Butters at
(208) 267-5276 to make your appointment. Naples’
kindergarten registration will be on Friday,
April 28. You can call Linda Lee at (208)
267-2956.
We look forward to meeting you and your
kindergartener.
I want to thank you all for your support of
Naples and Mt. Hall. We know it takes a village,
and we strive to give our kids the best
education Boundary County has to offer. Until
next month, Go Wolverines! and Go Wildcats! |
