D93 Family Update
November 2, 2023
Great Opportunity For Community Outreach
For a number of years, partners in our community have provided food boxes to about 100 families in District 93 who did not have the means of buying Thanksgiving dinner for their home. Those organizations have informed us that they will not be doing this for our families this year. As a community, we would like to still try to help those families who are in need this Thanksgiving.
If you would like to join us in helping to provide a dinner box for one of these families, please go to d93.org/intouch to make a donation. On the page, select “Bonneville Joint School District 93” as the School and “Thanksgiving Basket Donation” as the item and put at least $10 in the amount field to cover the transaction costs.
Thank you so much for your generous support. If you know of D93 families who don't have the means of providing Thanksgiving dinner for their families, please let them know that they can request to be considered for a donated box by going to https://d93.org/boxrequest.
New School Name
Thanks to everyone who took time to suggest names for our new elementary school. The School Board would like to know the top 3 choices from those suggested names. If you would like to share your top 3 choices, please go to d93.org/survey
Idaho Day Student Contest
Each year the Bonneville County Heritage Association (BCHA) sponsors several student contests to celebrate Idaho Day (the anniversary of the day President Abraham Lincoln created the Idaho Territory in 1863). All Bonneville County students in grades 4 and 7-12 are invited to participate. A variety of contests are offered (e.g., map drawing, sculpting, painting, photography, handwriting, essays, poetry, and song writing) and students may enter as many contests as they desire. The theme for this year’s contests is “Transportation in Idaho”.
Cash prizes are awarded to all first-place winners and prizes are given to second and third place winners as well. All contest entries are displayed during the BCHA’s annual Idaho Day Celebration held on March 4th. All contest winners (1st-3rd place) will be invited to the celebration where they will be recognized.
To enter a contest, submit the entry to Todd Brown at the Idaho Falls School District Administration building, 690 John Adams Parkway, any time before 5:00 p.m., January 26, 2024. Please include the student’s name, grade, school (if applicable), contest entered, and phone number on the back of the entry or on an index card accompanying the entry. Entries will be returned to students following the Idaho Day Celebration.
