Principal’s Report - Erik Olson
The Passion Project was a success, students got to do fun things like coding, yoga, fondant, juggling with 100% student participation. There will be one more Passion Project before the end of the school year. Check out Facebook to see great photos from the most recent Passion Project.
Academic Growth AIA for 1-3rd graders assessment of reading skills beginning of the year the school scored 56% proficient at reading, mid year is 70% and are set on track to meet the staff’s goal of 80% of students being proficient at reading at their grade level by the end of the school year.
The Winter MAP Test assesses students’ math skills. 3rd, 5th and 6th did excellent with high scores and 4th grade came close behind in numbers.
Maker Space is up and running thanks to Dalessio's hard work
Mr. Olson is collaborating with Mountain West Bank to create a sensory pathway by the gym for occupational therapy. Rotary Club is donating buddy benches for the playground. POAC-(Ponderay Art Council) will come and visit the 5th-6th grades and teach/perform on the historical subject of women’s suffrage.
Highlight on one of the great things that makes Farmin Stidwell unique is the work being done in the 5th and 6th grade class, Ms. Longstreet rotates between the two grades and works on weekly fun unique TEAM challenges for the students. A recent challenge the 6th graders worked on was creating a human ladder. The students worked together and build a human ladder using bats. It was fun to see the trust built in each other to climb across the ladder.

Matchwood Fundraiser - Friday May 22nd
-”Farmin Stidwell Swag Corner” - ideas to sell different Farmin Stidwell logo items. Would the school like to make any of these things (Maker’s Space project)? If not, we will order from somewhere. If so, maybe a certain class would/could make items to sell themselves for class/field trip fund? Just an idea.
-Dalessio-The Maker Space is ready to go and this is a great thing for the older students to work on. Trucker hats and decals are a great idea.
-Suggestion-kid art contest on a mug or other fun item for limited edition sale
Jogging Club - Nayla from the high school is asking if we will be using them for t-shirt printing again this year. Is the Maker’s space set up to do such a big project yet or should we use them again? She also asked if we will be doing a student design contest again . . . she has a student who is working on t-shirt design who is willing to do a design for us if we want. Input?
Yes to using Nayla and the HS students for the running club shirts. Yes to having a student t-shirt design competition but maybe the HS student can collaborate with the top winning designs for the lettering or if the student would be interested in talking with the older students on tips and resources for a good t-shirt design before the competition.
All School Assembly - PIE would like to sponsor an all school assembly in March or April. Should we do Mobius again? Does anybody else have any other ideas or connections for one?
Wants to know if Mobius has certain theme we can pick from. Open to other options, everyone will keep their eyes out for new fun ideas
Other questions or comments:
-Help Math Club raise money for Math Olympia by end of April need to raise $3,000.
Can we give Burger Express Fundraiser to Math Club ( its been in May, can we move up the date)
-Expand on other dine-out nights Hoot n Owl, Felkers, Jalapeno's, Evan Brothers, Pie Hut, Ivanos, Family Night at Huckleberry Lanes
