Thank you so much to Mr. Shaun Goodwin, Boise State Athletics reporter for the Idaho Statesman newspaper, for speaking with the Cub Tracks news staff this morning via Zoom. Goodwin, who is a friend and KU classmate of Mrs. Phillips, spoke to the students about his job in Idaho covering Boise State football and basketball. He also gave valuable advice, tips and talked about the current journalism industry. Thank you again, Shaun, for taking the time out of your day to speak with student journalists!
4th grade got to work with our preschool classes today! It was an AMAZING time!
Students in Family Studies have been working on our Flower Pots and Families project. They compared their similarities, decorated their own pots, then looked up family crisis statistics. When they read their statistic, they dropped their pot (in a bag) and broke it. Now they are working on looking up family crisis resources and putting their pot back together. It takes time and patience, and will never be exactly the same, but it can be put back together.
Exciting news: The Jerd banquet, celebrating accomplishments of journalism students throughout the 2024-2025 school year, will be at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 1, at the fieldhouse. More details to come. Reach out to Mrs. Phillips with any questions.
Please mark your calendars for this upcoming event!
