Did you know that over 300 students in the Twin Falls School District have already been identified as homeless this school year? These students face unique challenges, like not knowing where they’ll sleep at night, which can make it difficult to focus on school. From Dec. 9–31, TFSD is joining the Avenues for Hope campaign to raise $5,000 to help meet their basic needs. Together, we can support these students so they can focus on their education.
