The construction crew noticed an incorrect sentence (a bellringer activity) left on Ms. Wilson's fifth-grade classroom board and decided to have a little fun. When students arrived the next morning, they discovered the work of the “Construction Dudes.”
Some sharp-eyed students even noticed the Dudes missed a period after tracks. Keeping with classroom expectations, students who pointed out the missing period also wrote two or three positive comments about the crew’s work. Each student shared a note thanking the Construction Dudes for their hard work and care — proof that learning, kindness, and community can happen even after hours. 👏✨
Students in Ms. Weeks’ biology class completed a hands-on Strawberry DNA extraction lab using everyday materials.
Fun fact: Did you know strawberries are octoploid? 🧬
Please help us celebrate our Certified Employee of the Month, Andrea Carr, English Teacher at Magic Valley High School! 🎉📚
Andrea comes from a long line of educators and brings that passion into her classroom every single day. She strives to be the person her dog thinks she is (and honestly, that says a lot!). A true champion for the underdog, Andrea builds meaningful connections with students while keeping them actively engaged in learning. Outside of school, she enjoys snowmobiling and exploring the great outdoors. ❄️🌲
From the Principal:
“Andrea is an inspiration to me, to our staff, and to our teachers. She works hard at building positive relationships with her students while effectively engaging them in content. She constantly goes above and beyond while wearing many hats. If more people were like Andrea, the world would be a better place!”
💬 Join us in congratulating Andrea and leave her a note of appreciation in the comments below!
