Rake-Up Boise

On Saturday, November 13, we will participate in Rake Up Boise where we go and rake and bag leaves for those near our school that are elderly and/or disabled.
This is the 15th year that we have participated in this community event (we also particpate in Sweep the River- working with Parks and Recreation to clean up the Boise River) and it is good for our students to give back to the community.
You are welcome to bring a rake and join us!

Halloween!

Our yearly tradition of Trick-Or-Treating on Warm Springs Boulevard was again a hit with our international students. Some of our international students do not know what it means to trick-or-treat and I once tried to explain that you knock on the door, yell, "trick-or-treat!" and the person answering the door gives you candy. One innocent international girl, said to me, "So we must beg for food?" Oh boy. I told another to bring aa bag for candy and she brought a sandwich baggie!
This year was much fun and I give much thanks to the homes on Warm Springs for providing candy for hundreds of costumed children!
