OLDTOWN — Idaho Hill Elementary ended the school year with a celebration recognizing students’ dedication and effort during state assessments.
Throughout the spring, students worked to demonstrate their learning and growth. Kindergarten through third-grade students participated in the Idaho Reading Indicator, while students in third through sixth grades completed the Idaho Standards Achievement Test in reading, mathematics and science, according to an Idaho Hill Elementary news release.
To celebrate their hard work, students were treated to a special lunch provided by Truckin’ Delicious. Every student received a burger, bag of chips, beverage and snow cone. The event was made possible through the generosity of Tanner Linton, Reuben Akre, Hunter Storro, Jeff Connolly and Shane Horlacher, members of the Priest River community who wanted to recognize the students' efforts and accomplishments.
Following lunch, students and staff gathered on the field for a game of kickball, with students challenging their teachers and school staff. Despite the students’ enthusiasm and determination, the staff team emerged victorious with a final score of 14-1.
The celebration provided an opportunity for students and staff to reflect on a successful school year.
Most importantly, it served as a reminder that hard work, dedication and community support are all important parts of student success.
Idaho Hill Elementary congratulates all students on their accomplishments and wishes them a safe, fun and relaxing summer break.
