Sage International School of Boise

WE DID IT! Not only did we survive but THRIVE during a pandemic school year, but during a time of great uncertainty our Sage Community really showed up for us with incredible SUPPORT. With our fiscal year-end still a couple weeks away, we have surpassed our Mind the Gap goal by over $5k! Thank you THANK YOU for believing in us and our amazing students and teachers. Your support helps us keep doing what we do, and we can't WAIT to see what next year brings for Sage! #sagestrong #ibforall

A HUGE thank you to every student, parent, and staff member who showed up this week and assisted us with our enormous move. If you haven’t heard...we moved kindergarten and first grade over to the “big” building to join the other PYP grades, 11th and 12th moved to the “little building” to have their own space to collaborate, and flipped just about everyone else! We are so grateful for your help, and couldn’t have done it without you. Have an amazing summer and we will see you in August!

Free meals for ALL Idaho kids!

Kids and teens ages 1-18 eat free all summer long at various meal site locations all around the state of Idaho! To find a nearby meal site, Text “Summer Meals” to 97779, visit https://www.fns.usda.gov/meals4kids, or call 1-866-348-6479!

FREE items up for grabs! Two large and very heavy metal desks, six wood tables that were used in the art studio and would be great for a workshop or craft table. You haul, they are outside the Everest building entrance!

June is School Board appreciation month! Sage is governed by a VOLUNTEER board, who puts in countless hours every year making tough decisions for our schools and students. This past year, as we all know, they were faced with much more challenging decisions than usual and guided us through the turbulence to help make it a VERY successful school year. We literally would not exist without the guidance and hard work of these volunteer members. THANK YOU to Mike Lawrence, Blake Youde, Bryan Moore, Hannah Seeley, Paul Fleming, Maureen Seidel, Bill Carter, and our Board Clerk Dani Zwolfer. We have the best Board around, you truly are our Superheroes! Thank you for recognizing them Stand Up 4 Idaho Public Schools!

We are SO excited to have Jaime here today to tell our 6th graders ALL about her Shark Tank journey! They are just wrapping up their Shark Tank unit in Design and "pitching" their inventions, so it is just so awesome that we have a Shark Tank alum right here in our community that is willing to share her experience! 🙌✨Thank you The Original Stretchlace !!

Our Shark Tank episode airs tomorrow Friday, May 14, 2021 at 8PM, ET/PT on ABC!

Look where we started! There's nothing like giving your kids the opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship. We setup at our local Winter Craft Fair, donned some elf hats and let them do the selling! They received so many more "Nos" than "Yeses" but they walked away with $100 🏆! Everything about this photo brings happy tears to my eyes, how quickly they've all grown, the $1 store poster-board sign, how it feels like yesterday! What a journey...

Now we get to pitch to the toughest panel of consumers, the SHARKS. No big deal. 👀🦈

What an amazing day for 5th grade exhibition! We are so proud of our students and all the hard work they have put into their final PYP projects. It was a gorgeous day to hold our first outdoor exhibition! We are so grateful to all of our Sage community, including many students in other grade levels, who showed up to see, hear, and learn! Congratulations fifth graders, you are going to accomplish outstanding things in middle school! 🙌🏼❤️🌎

Senior Walk 2021!

Congratulations to all our Seniors! The Senior Walk is an annual event giving our students in Kindergarten through 11th grade a chance to cheer them on for their awesome accomplishments during their IB journey. There weren't a lot of dry eyes among our teachers and staff! We are so proud of the support our Sage community provides for each other, and the celebration these caring communicators created was AMAZING! https://vimeo.com/554940111

Senior Walk 2021! The annual walk the seniors take through the halls of Sage to be cheered on by the Kindergarten-11th students!

Oh what a night! Prom 2021 was a BLAST, and after such a crazy year it was just what these 11-12th graders needed. We think their teachers MAY have had just as great of a time! ❤️💃🏼🕺

Ms. Megan has done an amazing job taking over PYP P.E. while our beloved Mr. D. takes some time off for a very special new role. ❤️ Congrats to Danny and Joetta, we are so excited about our CUTE new Sage Family member! 🙌🏼💙👶🏼

Thank you for helping us spread the word!

We're not even sure where to start with thanking this superhero! On National School Nurse Day, we can proudly proclaim we have THE VERY BEST! Nurse P is extraordinary, whether it be a "normal" year or a pandemic year. Her expertise, care, and hard work were essential to helping us navigate the past 14 months safely, and for that we are forever grateful. We truly hope this will be the ONLY year like this Marianne, but KNOW that our students and staff are always well cared for in your capable hands! 💙💪💙 THANK YOU!
