At yesterday’s Regular School Board Meeting (3/11/26), Mr. Williams shared several topics with the board that can also be discussed at the upcoming P.A.W. Meetings if attendees would like to cover those topics. A "P.A.W. Meeting" is a Parent & Patron Advisory Workshop. It is an open meeting for anyone who would like to be involved with our school district.
If you have concerns or suggestions, we encourage you to attend one of these meetings. The P.A.W. Meetings are a great opportunity to ask questions, receive answers, and share your input.

The Idaho Department of Education holds an art contest each year, inviting students to submit artwork for a chance to be featured on its annual Christmas cards. One winner from each grade is selected, and then the top two overall winners have their artwork made into cards. This year, Terreton Elementary student, Aliza Ricks, was the 5th Grade Winner! (The top two overall winners this year were their 3rd & 8th grade winners.)
CONGRATULATION ALIZA!
Aliza's art teacher is Ms. Tamara Cooley.
