⚽ 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!

Children 1-18 eat for Free! Children must be present to pick up a meal. No exceptions may be made. Your child will receive some frozen food items, as well as some food products that require refrigera­tion. These items are perishable and will go bad if not stored properly. Please go through your chil­dren's lunch and weekend meals to ensure that these items are placed immediately in either a refrigera­tor or freezer. Food Safety is Important! - The milk and juice that is being served in the summer meal program is shelf stable and does not re­quire refrigeration. - Yogurt, cheese sticks, cream cheese packets, and fresh fruit should be stored in the refrigerator. If a cooked item is not eaten immediately it should be stored in the refrigerator. Unsealed food should be discarded within four days of receiving it. - Frozen food items will be sent out on Thursday afternoons, for use over the weekend. Please place these items in the freezer immediately to ensure food safety. Cooking Instructions All frozen foods may be prepared in the microwave or oven. Microwave cooking: place on a microwave-safe plate, cook covered for 1-2 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Oven Cooking: preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place food on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake uncovered for 11-13 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Please cook foods for younger children, or provide adult supervision to more independent kids. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
