Happy First Day of Summer Break! What a beautiful way to end the year. Our students welcomed summer with the Grand Handshake, a special Peace Valley tradition.

Our Kindergartners had a great last day of school, playing with bubbles in the sun. Tomorrow we celebrate the Mountain Bluebirds and Bright water Beavers with a special Kinder Fly Away Ceremony!

Then right after, we will honor our 8th grade and 1st grade with the Reverse Rose Ceremony. It will be a busy day, but we are so excited to celebrate all of our students on the last day of the school year!

Join us Saturday, May 9th for our Biodynamic Plant sale. Join us in the back parking lot of the school from 9 AM–12 PM. Our students have been hard at work starting seeds, and we’re excited to share the harvest with you!

A wide variety of plants will be available, including:
- Flowers (nasturtium, marigold, four o’clock, bachelor buttons, mossy rose)
- Leafy greens (kale, chard, cabbages)
- Melons, tomatoes, and peppers (including Black Krim and San Marzano)
- Herbs (basil, thyme, oregano)
- And MANY More!

See you Saturday Morning, and thank you for supporting Peace Valley!

Hear ye, hear ye! Our 6th graders stepped into the Middle Ages for a day of honor and adventure at our Medieval Games. Queen Ms. Cafferty and Mrs. Chiang bestowed each student with their own brave knightly name before they embarked on noble trials, greeted by horses and cheered on by their community. A day of courage, camaraderie, and a touch of magic. Well done, brave knights! Thank you to Ms. Bethany, Mr. Fox, and all of the parent volunteers that helped make this special event a success.

What a wonderful May Day Celebration we had yesterday 🌸

May Day marks the joyful turning of the seasons into the full promise of spring. It’s a time to celebrate light, growth, and the beauty of coming together in community.

Our students welcomed the day with song, movement, traditional maypole dances, and colorful ribbons weaving a picture of connection and renewal. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to honor the rhythms of nature and the spirit of childhood.

Happy May Day from our school community!

At Peace Valley Charter School, learning comes to life. Our Kindergarten through 4th grade students recently experienced the full cycle of life by incubating eggs right in their classrooms. After days of patient waiting, careful observation, and nurturing care, the chicks finally hatched. Now our students are getting to gently hold and interact with them.

Through this hands-on experience, students are building responsibility, practicing empathy, and witnessing firsthand the wonder of growth and new beginnings. It’s science, stewardship, and a little bit of magic all wrapped into one unforgettable experience.

Kindergarten and 2nd Grade students celebrated earth day today with recycled art. We love seeing the creativity and passion of all of our students.

We are happy to congratulate Chrissie, Grace, and Baiya for being the very first Peace Valley team to participate in the Idaho Battle of the Books!

A huge thank you to Chelsea Jordan for coaching the team and making this experience possible. The students had a wonderful time, and we are so proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and courage.
