Our community received a welcome boost today when Charley Jones of Idaho Power stopped by J.R. Simplot Elementary to deliver a $300 donation supporting our food pantry. This generous gift will go directly toward helping local families. We are deeply grateful to Idaho Power for their kindness and for consistently investing in the well-being of our community. We are blessed to live in an area where businesses step up to make a meaningful difference.
We also extend a heartfelt thank you to Hutch Swan for all he does for our schools and community.

🌟 Community Pride Day 2025🌟
AFHS students showed incredible school spirit and leadership at their annual Community Pride Day.
Each grade level participated in sessions focused on soft skills, college and scholarship prep, and personal branding — learning valuable tools to prepare for life beyond high school.
Then, they took that pride outside the classroom — all students spread out across the community to pick up trash and give back by beautifying our town!
We’re so proud of our students for showing that leadership starts with action. 💪🧤🌎

💛 American Falls High School is looking for event sponsors to help provide lunch while we host Breaking Down the Walls November 3–5! 💛
This powerful three-day program will involve all AFHS students, giving every student the chance to connect, share their stories, and realize that “it’s hard to hate someone whose story you know.”
We’re seeking sponsors to help provide lunch for about 200 students each day during the full-day workshops on Days 2 and 3. These workshops are most impactful when students stay together in their small groups all day, so we hope to bring lunch directly to them to maintain the connection and flow of the experience. 🍽️
Breaking Down the Walls focuses on:
• Meaningful connections and positive relationships: bringing students together to build authentic relationships and a sense of belonging.
• Empathy and understanding: creating space for students to share their stories, listen to others, and realize they are truly better together.
• A thriving campus culture: helping every student feel — I belong here, I am safe here, I can learn and grow here.
Your support will help make this meaningful event possible for every student — because we’re truly Better Together! 🦫💛 💛
Please contact Andrea Clinger if you are interested in being a sponsor

⚽ Varsity Boys Soccer – Postgame Reflection
The final whistle just blew, and while the scoreboard didn’t swing our way, the boys left everything on the field. Thanks to all the fans and parents that showed their support. It was a game full of highs and lows, grit and hustle, and moments that showed real growth. From sharp passes to relentless defense, they played with heart and unity. Proud of the effort, proud of the fight—this team continues to rise, no matter the result.
Hard-fought match today with our varsity girls soccer squad. The result didn’t go our way, but these athletes battled from the first whistle to the final minute. Relentless effort, sharp teamwork, and heart that doesn’t quit. Proud of the fight—this team’s got fire. Go Red! 🔴⚽🔥
What a great morning to be out at the soccer fields! Families and fans filled the sidelines, enjoying the sunshine and cheering from their chairs and bleachers cheering on our American Falls Boys JV team. The scoreboard didn’t go our way, but the effort, growth, and heart on the field made it a game well worth watching. The energy was high, the teamwork was impressive, and it was the perfect way to start the weekend. Great job, Beavers!
