Summer School Registration
Time is flying and our school year ends on May 30th. So we need to prepare for Summer School 2008! This year our youngsters can have fun while they improve their reading and math skills. The summer school program will be hosted at Hemingway, Woodside and Carey Elementary Schools on the following schedule:
Hemingway and Woodside: July 14 - August 8, 8:00 AM - 12:00 Noon
Carey: July 14 - August 1, 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Snacks and a grab-and-go lunch are provided at all three schools. At Woodside, the School District has partnered with the Hunger Coalition to offer a hot breakfast as well.
The tuition fee is $25.00, but you can request a scholarship for your child.
Letters about the summer school program will be sent home with our students the week of May 12th in English and en Español. They should be returned to your child's teacher by May 21st. Please turn in the letter whether your children will be attending or not. The School District doesn't want anyone to be overlooked if they wish to participate.

NASA will be visiting all of the elementary schools this week. In conjunction with NASA's visit, NASA's 50th anniversary and Space Day (May 2nd), the Tech Ed Teachers from Bellevue, Hailey, Hemingway, Woodside and the Wood River Middle School are joining together as a team to host Family Tech Night, a FREE valley-wide community event where families will be actively involved in discovering more about science, math and technology.

Carey Teachers Honored for Excellence
Two Carey teachers were recently honored for excellence in their work for the Blaine County School District.
Lee Cook has been named Athletic Director of the Year for 1-A schools in Idaho. His achievements were recogned by his fellow athletic directors at the State Conference in Boise on April 7th. He received a plaque to commemorate another memorable and successful athletic year for Carey School.
Lane Durtschi received honorable mention in the award program sponsored by GIANTS (Governor's Industry Award for Notable Teaching in Science). The GIANTS program was initiated by the Office of the Governor and is sponsored by the Science and Technology Roundtable of industry leaders (Hewlett-Packard Company, Idaho National Laboratory, Micron Foundation, Washington Group International, Inc., and TreeTop Tech), with support from Idaho state agencies (the State Department of Education, the Office of the State Board of Education, and the Office of Science and Technology). The GIANTS award recognizes teachers for their efforts to link industry and the economic future of Idaho to the classroom through the enhancement of science and technology education. Teachers who receive a GIANTS Honorable Mention award receive a cash award of $500. All of the participating teachers were nominated by the student council and/or parent groups at their school for the impact they have made on students by bringing science to life.
Congratulations to Lee and Lane! The School District is proud to have such great teachers on its staff.
