Today was one of those days that a camera just can’t quite capture. Our Acequia staff spent the morning at Jae’s Place, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. The message, the stories, the connection… it all left a mark on our hearts.
We made promises together today — to be Bold, Inclusive, Nimble, and Generous. B.I.N.G. Simple words with a powerful purpose.
We learned about creating “Boot Check” moments — intentional pauses to slow down, breathe, and truly check on ourselves or someone around us. In education, teachers take care of everyone else long before they take care of themselves… and this reminder couldn’t have come at a better time.
We will set Jae’s story forward through the way we show up for ourselves, for our students, and for each other.
I’m so grateful for the vulnerability, the strength, and the unity our staff showed today. It was amazing — and we will carry it forward.
A deep and heartfelt thank you to our sponsors who provided our staff this opportunity: Idaho Lottery, Landview, Stotz Equipment, Mart Produce, Tree Source, and Duncan Farms.
Your generosity made today possible.👢




The first snowfall in Acequia did not disappoint ❄️⛄️
The snowmen just kept getting bigger and bigger as each recess went on. Here’s to winter magic and little hands that never stop building!


A sprinkle of love, bold dreams, brave spirits, and generous hearts —
Reveur, Isibindi, Amistad, and Altruismo shining bright on our Acequia tree. 🎄✨

Our Acequia House Leaders came together today to decorate our school Christmas tree — and it is stunning! Each house added their own special touch, but when it all came together, it created one beautiful school tree.
We love watching our students lead, create, and collaborate as one school, one family.
You’ll have to stop by and see it in person… we’re pretty sure it’s the prettiest tree in all of Acequia! 🎄

This season can bring joy—and stress. Minidoka Schools is partnering with ParentGuidance.org to offer free mental-health resources for families, including live workshops, parent coaching, and tools for navigating the holidays. 💙

Our Eagles came together to create this artwork—each square a small thank-you to the brave men and women who have served our country. When we put them all together, it reminds us how powerful we can be when we stand united.
Thank you, veterans, for your service and sacrifice. We honor you today and always. ❤️🤍💙
