Sage International School of Boise

And they’re off! Yesterday was a beautiful day for the first ride of the season for our Sage mountain biking club. Students in 5th-8th of all skill levels were led by coaches Todd Evans and Kim Cross, and volunteers Keith Donahue and several high school riders! Thanks to all our risk takers for coming out, they’ll ride every Tuesday after school for the next several weeks! Check our website for more details.

U.S. History & American Government teacher Drew Lunt has spent 4 great days with 9 Sage High Schoolers touring and learning in Washington DC! They visited the Lincoln Memorial, MLK Memorial, Mount Vernon, Jefferson Memorial, the White House, the Capitol and Iwo Jima. He’s planning another trip for Fall Break 2023 if your high schooler is interested, stay tuned!

Sage 7th graders took a long but important educational field trip to the Minidoka National Historic Site in Jerome. They learned why it was built, and about the nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans who were forced into 10 isolated war relocation centers like this across the United States during WWII. Students learned the stories of those who spent part of their lives incarcerated there, and the part they play in Idaho and US History.

Boy, this school year has really aged some of our teachers! 🤣 Kindergarten and First Grade went all out for the 💯th day of school yesterday! So much fun.

Each year, the Idaho Business Review launches a Reader Rankings survey to highlight the best of the best across the state. Sage was voted as THE BEST Charter school, which we all already knew, right?! 😁 Thanks @ibrnews for this great recognition! https://idahobusinessreview.com/reader-rankings/

Today was Forge’s turn to host our extended family as Sage and Forge came together for Professional Development! It was an awesome day full of collaboration and learning as teachers took part in 3 of the 9 offered sessions.

Our breadth and depth of knowledge is even greater as a whole! 🌎 🧑‍🏫 🍎 📚 ✏️

Forge Fam: WE DID IT! We received the amazing news yesterday that we are APPROVED as an official IB Authorized World School for the PYP. This dream team here of IB/Curriculum Director Dani Zwolfer, Head of School Darci Stelzner, and PYP Coordinator Nora Strauch put in a lot of time and hard work showcasing to the IB Organization all that we do at Forge to be IB! We also owe a huge thank you to our entire Forge community - staff, students, parents, and board - for this huge accomplishment. This candidacy process continues for our MYP, and we are looking forward to equally good news before long. But now we can say OFFICIALLY what we’ve known all along, Forge is IB! 🌎 💜💚
