Fall Activities Senior Night is tonight before the football game. We'll recoginze Cross Country, Band, Cheer, and Football seniors tonight. Recognition will begin at 6:20, Senior parents/guardians are asked to be to the north end of the bleachers by 6:05.

With everything starting early we encourage all fans to arrive early to help us recognize this very active class of seniors.

Our student of the week is Vanessa Anderson– Vanessa works hard in class. She does not give up, even when the concepts are difficult. She is also a living example of kindness to other students and staff members.

Paula not only helps the Boyer Valley students find books, she also helps the entire town locate their next read. Looking for something to read as the days get cold, stop by the library and check out the selection.

On October the 4, the Boyer Valley Science Club did a generous act of kindness for their first meeting in which they cleaned Highway 30 going south west of town. They were led by Mrs. Pippitt and eight students showed up to the event. They started at 10:45 and ended at 12:00. After they were done with the job, they enjoyed pizza together and talked about the great win the Bulldog football team had homecoming night.

This Friday, October 17th is our Senior Night. Parents and non-football players, please line up on the north side of the bleachers at 6:05. We will begin alphabetically recognizing our Cheer, Band, and Cross Country players at 6:20. The football team will be recognized following this to allow time for warm-ups. Thanks for supporting our student athletes.

We are hiring, spread the word! Looking to start immediately.
