✨Congratulations to Amy McDaniel, our Classified Employee of the Month at Bridge Academy! 🥳
Amy is a kind and dedicated paraeducator who loves making a difference in the lives of students. She strives to be someone others feel comfortable turning to and works hard every day, something she says she learned from her grandfather. When she’s not supporting students, Amy enjoys reading and watching hockey. Her favorite moments are when former students return to share what they’re doing after Bridge Academy; it makes all the hard days worth it.❤️
From the principal:
“Amy works so hard to support students here at Bridge! She’s learned and developed so much as a paraprofessional the last two years that I’ve worked with her. She does her best, day in and day out. She is always willing to do whatever is asked of her. Her work at Bridge is greatly appreciated!”
💬 Let’s hear it for Amy! Drop a note of thanks or share a favorite memory with her below.

Harrison celebrated Be an Upstander Week, the school’s annual anti-bullying initiative! 💙
Students and staff participated in fun dress-up days, including Spirit Day, Solid Color Day, Twin Day, Pajama Day, and Kindness Never Gets Old Day, which coincided with the 100th day of school.
Throughout the week, teachers led lessons on how to identify bullying and empowered students with strategies for what to do if they or others experience it—reinforcing the importance of kindness, courage, and standing up for one another.🫶✨

Budding architects identified 2-D and 3-D shapes, applied their knowledge of area and perimeter to thoughtfully plan city layouts, and used shape patterns (nets!) to construct unique buildings and city features.
The project wrapped up with student presentations to Mrs. Mahlke, O’Leary’s librarian, who enjoyed touring a collection of creative, mathematically designed cities.
Each one was as unique as its creator!🤩


Ms. Heinz’s 11th-grade English students are cultivating "Little Shop of Horrors" in the most creative way! Each student designed and built their own Audrey II out of playdough, and the results are both impressive and delightfully mischievous 😈🌿
It is always exciting to see literature bloom off the page and into students’ hands 👏



First graders at Morningside recently wrapped up their astronomy unit by learning all about the planets. To celebrate their learning, students painted their favorite planet, bringing the solar system to life in a colorful and creative way.
A fun and artistic way to reach for the stars! 🌟🚀🖌️


Originally from Blackfoot, Peggy is a self-proclaimed “national park nerd” who loves visiting and learning about our national parks. She also enjoys disc golf and getting lost in a good book. Peggy hopes to pass on a love for the books she reads with her students. When asked about her best day on the job, she shared that there isn’t just one, everyday is filled with small joys, and we think that’s what makes her the wonderful teacher she is! 📖✨
From the principal:
“I am honored to recognize Peggy Nickerson as our Certified Employee of the Month. As a fifth-grade teacher, leadership team member, and grade-level lead, she brings a steady, calm presence to everything she does, managing her classroom with both kindness and grace. Peggy not only serves the students in her classroom, but all students in our building — consistently going above and beyond, supporting after-school events, and warmly welcoming new staff.”

We look forward to seeing our families! 🤝✨

Every semester, Ms. Leiser’s speech class at Twin Falls High School creates posters and speeches based on the poem “Where I Am From.” This project helps students reflect on their past—both the joyful moments and the challenges they’ve faced.
By sharing their stories through posters and presentations, students learn that others may have had similar experiences, while also building confidence to speak in front of an audience. 🌟💬🤝






At Morningside, students and staff had a blast celebrating 100 days of school! Everyone joined in the fun by dressing up, making the milestone memorable and full of smiles.
A joyful way to mark 100 days of learning, laughter, and growth! 👵👴✨

As we wrap up the third quarter, please note that Friday, March 14 will be an early release day 🗓️

Canyon Ridge High School and Twin Falls High School Junior Ambassadors did an outstanding job representing the Twin Falls School District at the Idaho Playground Project event. Kim Leonard organized the event flawlessly, and Sara Egan, Canyon Ridge High School Counseling Secretary, spoke passionately about the vital role the Idaho Playground Project plays in supporting our community.
We’re proud of our students and staff for making a difference! 🌳👏


Canyon Ridge FFA members expanded their horizons while attending the Gem State Leadership Conference in Boise. Underclassmen toured the Eagle Fish Hatchery, while juniors and seniors advocated for agriculture during a luncheon with state legislators. The group also came together for leadership workshops, a service project, and tours of both the State Capitol and Zeppole’s bakery warehouse.
This experience gave students valuable insight into leadership, service, and the impact of agriculture at the local and state level 🌟🤝
