🎶 The Link Up program is inspiring 3rd to 5th graders to engage in music education by partnering with local symphonies. Students learn to sing and play instruments in music class, culminating in a concert with a professional orchestra. Every March, over 2,400 4th graders from Southeast Idaho join the Idaho State-Civic Symphony for a memorable side-by-side performance at the Stephens Performing Arts Center.
Our fourth graders are enjoying this special experience this morning.
A special thank you to Ms. Finner for helping us keep our love for music alive! 🎻✨

Our 5th graders had the wonderful opportunity to attend the children’s concert by the Idaho State Civic Symphony!
The annual children's concert is a collaborative event between the Symphony, its Youth Orchestra, and local school districts, offering a special free concert for over 2,000 area fifth graders.
For many young students, it’s their first chance to experience the joy of a live musical performance tailored just for them, presented by the enthusiastic youth orchestra.







J.R.S.E students had a blast watching a sneak peek of
'The Little Mermaid'!
The talent of the actors and the stunning costume design made it an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss the premiere this Friday evening at AFHS.
Come see the amazing talents of our kids! 🌟


🎉 Exciting News! Ms. Stillwell's class is celebrating a huge milestone with their very own book signing event! 🎊 After pouring their hearts into writing incredible stories, they’ve had their work published and are ready to share it with the world.

We were fortunate to experience the performances of the Native American dancers today.









Mrs. Hanini's class has wrapped up our Community Project-Based Learning (PBL) experience with a fantastic project: creating a detailed brochure about American Falls. Throughout this journey, our students have worked collaboratively, showing dedication and creativity as they explored what makes our community unique.
Together, they researched and identified interesting facts about American Falls, from its history, to local landmarks. They also explored the area’s climate and its impact on the community, ensuring their brochures are both engaging and informative. Along the way, they developed a deeper understanding of what a community is and how we are all connected within it.
We were able to distribute our brochures about AF to the city hall, post office, sheriff’s office, library, and court house.







Our STEM Ambassadors went into the classrooms today and did a mini Engineering group activity today. The students had a blast learning how to collaborate and revise their engineering process!
