Hello and welcome back to another destination education episode where the students and staff are the Stars. This was not only the first full week of school for students in the Caldwell School District, but also the first week of preschool.

What's next at.

Our four school-based sites, students will have the opportunity to participate in Hands-On play-based. Lessons focused on language, literacy and pre-mat skills.

One of the things that's really great about the preschool model we use is that it allows families from all different areas of the Caldwell School District, to have different Avenues to participate in early learning, resources for their children and their families.

Through this program, students will also gain confidence in their abilities, as they learn essential, age-appropriate, social and academic skills. These skills will help set the foundation to becoming a successful lifelong learner.

These programs are made possible through Partnerships, with the Treasure Valley YMCA ycap Head Start United Way of Treasure Valley, to see kids, the Caldwell School District's, special education and migrant programs. Now our next story highlights a community volunteer who helped raise money for school supplies. Roselli guillero is currently a college student studying secondary education. When she was buying her own school supplies. She noticed just how expensive they can be. That's when she decided to help raise money to buy school supplies for local students.

Many students- don't have, you, know the means to to buy all the school supplies, especially when there's like multiple children in a household, so I think it was just like something that I was like. I think this is just very important. Just to you know, with covet and everything happening. I was like I just want them to have a really good year, not to worry about, for parents to buy be buying them supplies as well.

Miss guillero raised over a thousand dollars in just three weeks. This helped fill over 200 cinch bags with school supplies for Caldwell High School students. Although mosquito thought of the idea, this fundraiser turned into a community donation now, multiple organizations were involved to help make this fundraiser become a reality. Thank you, Miss geero, for helping our students have a great school year. Now, every five years school districts must develop a new strategic plan in May, the Board of Trustees approved the district's new Mission Vision Values and strategic pillars.

This week, trustees approved the Strategic plan logos, which is what you are seeing on your screen right now. The plan took over a year to create and multiple stakeholders were involved in the process. We appreciate the time given to this important project that will impact our community in the years to come.
