We met our school goal of raising over $30,000 so we celebrated with a teacher race and pie-ing Mr. Adams! Such a fun celebration bringing our school community together, and Mr. Adams is such a good sport. Congrats to Coach Kendall for winning the race!

Counselor’s Corner

Hi! My name is Summer Ash. This is my 3rd year at Star Elementary and 5th year as a counselor. Prior to counseling, I was a teacher for 22 years. Over the course of the year, I will be teaching your student(s) lessons every 1-2 months during library specials time. My office is in the main hallway (by the red mailbox) where students can drop in or fill out a request slip to see me if they are having a hard day. I love being a school counselor and truly enjoy getting to know and helping students. I am excited for the year ahead.

Please feel free to contact me at any time via phone or email with questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting you! ash.summer@westada.org or 208-855-4110

Please make every effort to have your student in school for our state reading tests. Students do better when they get a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast in the morning. If your child takes their laptop home, they will not take them home the night before their reading tests to assure they are charged and updated for the test.

Students are encouraged to wear their spirit wear or our school colors (red, white or black) on Fridays. Not only does this build school pride, but classes with the highest participation win a prize!
