Attitude- We need the benefit of positive attitudes in our classrooms, school buildings, homes, businesses, and entire community. Minidoka County is a great place to live. I have been so impressed with the quality of your children and the dedicated staff of this district. We need to remember and reconnect with our Minidoka Pride…our Spartan Pride! We encourage attitudes that foster cooperation, respect, trust, sportsmanship, and unity. These positive attitudes will instill our community with enthusiasm and hope for the future. Positive attitudes motivate us to work together on behalf of our children. We need to eliminate gossip, rumor spreading, backbiting, or anything which is potentially negative. When we dwell on the negative, it inevitably affects our students in adverse ways. Let’s work together to improve our attitude…attitude determines our altitude! Full Article

Our seniors decided to do a canned food drive to benefit the South Central Community Action Agency. On Friday, December 9th, 2011, the principal at Mt.Harrison challenged the students to bring in 2500 cans for this cause. On Monday the 12th they had brought in 835 cans. By Wednesday this had grown to just over 2200 cans. On Thursday morning, the 15th, the day of delivery, our students had brought in more than 5450 items. This was done through emailing, Facebook, door-to-door requests in students neighborhoods, standing outside of Walmart and requesting donations, along with numerous other ways. It took three "fully" loaded pickups to deliver this to SCCAA. Full Article
