✨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.🫶✨

Over the past two weeks, Ms. Waters’ 6–8 math students at O’Leary Middle School designed and built their own Geometric Cities from the ground up! 🏙️📐
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!🤩

Growing Stories in the Classroom 🌱📖
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 👏

Where I Am From: Reflecting and Sharing 📝🎤
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. 🌟💬🤝
