East Valley Middle School

🐾 A few of our Bobcats got some hands-on work experience as hot air balloon grounds crew today!

A balloon unexpectedly landed in our field and we jumped to help, carefully walking it to the parking lot, pulling it to the ground as it deflated, folding it up, and loading it into its bag and trailer.

Pilot instructor Pete of Freedom Flight, Inc. "The POW-MIA Hot Air Balloon Team" then took some time to talk to our students about aviation, the history or hot air balloons, and opportunities for anyone wanting to go into becoming a pilot or working in aviation. It was the coolest!

Shout out to: Mr. Bradley, Mrs. Elliott, Mr. Gildesgaard, Isaac Toone, Lincoln Bastian, Ivan Lozano, Fabian Ibarra, Daniel Correa Pelayo, Xavier Almeida-Vega, Zeke DeLaRosa, and Mrs. Izatt for all of your help!

Pretty fun adventure for the last day of school 🫡🎈💭✈️👨🏼‍✈️🐾

🐾 Here is our April group of 7th grade Students of the Month! April can be rough as ISATs start and Spring Break has come and gone, but these eight students locked in and showed great attitudes and willingness to learn. Congrats! 🐾

🐾 We are pretty excited to highlight some of our awesome 6th grade students today!

Over the weekend at Lakeview Park these ten East Valley Bobcats were honored by the Nampa Exchange Club and received the Young Citizens Award. They were nominated by their teachers for excellence in the areas of: Citizenship, Attitude, Academics, Character, Leadership, and Sportsmanship and we are so proud that they were recognized as ten of only 49 sixth graders in Nampa.

Thanks for representing East Valley so well! 🐾
