First graders in Mrs Koval’s class read the story If I Built a School by Chris Van Dusen. The boy imagines how he would design the ideal school including a zoo, water slide, hovering school desks, and a sky diving simulator.

The first graders were challenged to design, create, and build their own dream school. They shared it with their classmates. First Grade ROCKS!

Today, Spalding STEM Academy's PTO held a Fun Run for us! This "Fun"draising event involved having students get pledges for them to walk for at least 30 minutes. Our course was set up in the park next to the school. We had amazing parent volunteers spread throughout the course to cheer everyone on. And we had water and a popsicle available too! It was an incredibly fun event! Thank you Spalding PTO for organizing the event!

Last night was West Ada School District's Teacher of the Year and Classified of the Year Banquet. Mrs. Jennifer Turnbull and Mrs. Darcie Murdock represented Spalding STEM. They are the best!

Spalding's Lost and Found is overflowing again. We will be donating items next Friday, so please come in soon and check the piles of clothing. Check your email for photographs that might help you find something you spent good money on.
