Idaho Hill celebrates students' hard work, achievements

Idaho Hill Elementary wrapped up the school year with a well-deserved celebration recognizing students' dedication and effort during state assessments.

Throughout the spring, students worked diligently to demonstrate their learning and growth. Kindergarten through third-grade students participated in the Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI), while students in third through sixth grades completed the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) in Reading, Mathematics, and Science.

To celebrate their hard work, students were treated to a special lunch provided by Truckin' Delicious. Every student received a burger, a bag of chips, a beverage, and a 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.

"We are incredibly grateful for the support of these community members," said Idaho Hill Elementary Principal Loretta Glazier. "Their generosity helped make the day memorable for our students and showed them that their hard work is noticed and appreciated."

Following lunch, students and staff gathered on the field for a spirited game of kickball. Laughter, teamwork, and friendly competition were on full display as students challenged 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 and recognize the perseverance shown throughout the assessment season. Most importantly, it served as a reminder that hard work, dedication, and community support are all important parts of student success.

As the school year comes to a close, Idaho Hill Elementary congratulates all students on their accomplishments and wishes them a safe, fun, and relaxing summer break.
