30?????? 45????? 60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many bags of leaves should one yard have???
For the 12th year, Sheridan students and parents/friends participated in "Rake Up Boise."
About 25 of us descended on homes near the school to rake up leaves.
The first home was a MONSTER, but after 2 hours, SIXTY bags were curbside to be recycled...
Pizza at Papa Joe's after the 3 yards we raked was well deserved!!!
Thanks to all the students and parents who showed up to help with one of our yearly Communty Service projects!

Drop his fishing pole...
Many years ago a group of us camped in October on the Boise River near Baumgartner hot springs- ankle deep in fall leaves with no amenties, it was a perfect spot to relax and catch some trout.
Roger built a campfire, and he and I were soon fly fishing for rainbows a mere 30 feet from our camp.
After we had caught and released about 5 picture-perfect trout, he turned to his wife Patty seated near the campfire (so close our fly lines nearly snagged her) and asked if she was OK.
She said, "Roger, I'm cold."
Roger dropped his fly rod, took two steps up the bank, and in 20 minutes had Patty's feet up on a log, a heavy blanket over her and a horeshoe fire built around her...
I looked back at her and she had a huge smile on her face. Roger made her warm.
I have worked with teens for 18 years. I demand a code of class from all.
GENTLEMEN will provide for their date at all costs-biting trout be damned.
LADIES will seek a suitor who will "drop his fishing pole for her."
Seek the giving man.
Sheridan students are schooled in these graces. Let's hope that the schooling takes hold...

Boo!
International students joined us for Tricks and treats walking down Warm Springs Boulevard. About 20 of us dressed and joined the crowd to get candy.
Host families prepped our visitng students very well, and the costumes looked great. I did, however, have to explain that you say, "Trick or Treat!" and that gets you a piece of candy. One confused students asked, "Why are we begging for food?" Lol, she had fun getting snickers and smarties...
"Trick or Treat" was a new celebration for many of our students and they experienced some zombies and were scared silly!
Kudos to the families on Warm Springs who really step up for the Halloween celebrations!
