Current and Upcoming News

Here’s a glimpse at what our students are up to these days…

A Stellar Showcase: Our Annual Spelling Bee

Our students took center stage at our annual Spelling Bee, impressing everyone with their hard work and word power!

Spelling bees aren’t just about spelling — they build confidence, boost memory, sharpen focus, and strengthen public speaking skills. It’s an exciting way for students to challenge themselves and celebrate learning.

We are so proud of every participant for their amazing effort and positive spirit!

Adventure Awaits: 4th–8th Graders Gear Up for the Idaho Forestry Competition

Our 4th–8th graders are taking their learning outside! As they prepare for the Idaho Forestry Competition, students are diving into the world of trees, forests, and conservation. From identifying species to understanding how healthy forests are managed, they’re gaining hands-on knowledge that connects them to the natural world.

This competition isn’t just about facts—it’s about building a love for the outdoors, sharpening problem-solving skills, and becoming thoughtful stewards of our environment. We’re excited to cheer them on as they rise to the challenge!

Standing Ovation! Students Shine in Our School Play

What a show! Our students brought the stage to life as they dove into every part of play production — acting, set building, lighting, and more. In just a week, they transformed hard work and imagination into a performance that wowed the audience!

Along the way, they built confidence, learned the magic of teamwork, and discovered how every behind-the-scenes role is just as important as the spotlight. The experience sparked creativity, strengthened communication skills, and left everyone with a new appreciation for the performing arts.

Bravo to our talented cast and crew for an unforgettable performance of Treasure Island!

Continuing Education Through Summer

Farm Fun Summer Camps Are So Much More Than Just Fun

Summer camp registration opened in March. Although these camps are literally days packed full of fun, the compassion, knowledge, discoveries, determination, and self confidence children gain and learn during their three days at camp will forever be with them.

Our middle school students each spend a week mentoring campers as they guide them in daily animal care, feeding, and greenhouse awareness. They also become team players in the engineering, problem solving and creative group skills drills. It is our belief that if an individual can learn something, understands it, then reteaches it, they truly have accomplished the knowledge and greater meaning of the lesson.

Our camp days are filled with laughter, adventure, teamwork and of course fun! Farm chores are understandably a highlight every morning as campers care for animals like steers, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks. When our chores are complete, we adventure out on hikes, practice our archery skills, catch fish (and tadpoles), learn to rope, and test our biking abilities through our ever changing obstacle course. As the afternoon approaches, children can be found picking berries in the garden, crafting, engineering and building forts in the shade of the tall trees.

Ag Students are Bringing Wholesome Food to Your Plates

SVCS Ag students will get hard at work preparing the greenhouse with vegetables and plants that will assist in the nutritious meal we all long to eat.

Along with the greenhouse, they  begin the process of planning and ordering their meat bird chicks for their springtime agribusiness program. From their profits made last summer, they will be able to raise twice the amount of chickens this year.

January marks a new group of animals to add to the Ag program. Children will get a herd of yearling steers to take care of and learn all about. In late February,  students will prepare for a new littler of piglets to be born. You can only imagine their excitement in raising young piglets. Each morning at school feeding and caring for these animals is part of the routine. The amount of education that comes with the responsibility of raising animals is immeasurable.

Fresh farm raised, free range meat chickens will be available in June. Delicious bacon, sausage, and pork chops will be available in late summer. Students are currently accepting pre-orders.  Orders and inquiries can be emailed to the students at [email protected]
