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.

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.
