Big things are happening at Gem Prep: Nampa!

Look at that progress! 🎉 Our future gym site has officially gone from a giant hole in the ground to... well, actual ground! 🙌

Every scoop of dirt, every blueprint, and every hour of hard work is bringing us one step closer to a space where our Owls will enjoy sports, assemblies and more!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone involved in this project—from the construction crews working tirelessly on-site to the architects, engineers, designers, and planning teams behind the scenes. Your dedication is helping turn this dream into reality! 💙🦉

We can't wait to watch the walls go up and see our new gym take shape. Stay tuned for more construction updates as we continue building something amazing for our scholars and community!

📚🌟 Looking for a fun (and FREE!) family activity? 🌟📚

Head over to the Nampa Public Library and check out their exciting summer programs and events! From hands-on activities to story times and educational experiences, there's something for children of all ages to enjoy.

Tonight they are hosting a Father Day Celebration!! Enjoy refreshments while you craft and watch 'A Goofy Movie.' The film will start at 5:15PM. We encourage people to dress in their goofiest outfits or rockstar attire. Children and their caretaker are welcome to attend.

It's a wonderful way to keep young minds engaged, encourage a love of reading, and make lasting family memories this summer. 📖❤️
