Bold. Passionate. Unstoppable.
Just like the people who make Acequia Elementary so special. ❤️🐎🔥
A small reminder of the fire you carry into our school each day.
This week was filled with laughter, surprises, games, treats, and appreciation but none of it could ever fully express how grateful we are for the incredible staff who make Acequia feel like family.
Thank you for the heart, dedication, and love you pour into our students and school every single day.

Our 4th grade students had so much fun learning about the history of Minidoka County and the founding of our country as we begin celebrating the 250th Anniversary of American Independence. It was a great opportunity to connect the past to the present and help students better understand the people, events, and stories that shaped our nation and community. 🇺🇸
The Fire Horse Stampede galloped through Acequia today and WOW… what a day. 🔥🐎
The halls were filled with excitement, teamwork, strategy, and just a little extra urgency during bathroom breaks and bandaid requests… because everyone knew there just might be another flame or horse hidden nearby. 😅
Students searched the school from top to bottom all day long, hoping to collect enough horses and flames to bring their class into the running for the grand prize. The competition was fierce, the energy was unmatched, and the smiles were endless.
Congratulations to Mrs. Ball’s Kindergarten class for taking home the win — the viral dumpling squishy and a gift card to Ma's Custard! 🥟✨
One of the sweetest moments of the day? Mrs. Stocking's class handed over their horses and flames to help Mrs. Ball’s students win. A reminder that the spirit of the Year of the Fire Horse isn’t just about energy and excitement — it’s also about kindness, generosity, and lifting others up. ❤️
And yes… all FOUR golden horses were found. 👀🐎
Without a doubt, this was one of the highlights of the day. So much fun, so many memories, and a whole lot of Acequia magic.

The school was filled with the best smell ever today… a little taste of Shon Hing right here at Acequia!
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for spoiling our staff with one of our all-time favorite meals. We savored every bite and felt so appreciated today. The love and support you show our staff never goes unnoticed. ❤️🥡

Kindergarten took on the bowling alley last week—and what a blast it was! 🎳✨
With cosmic bowling, snacks, and treats, our littlest Eagles had so much fun and made memories they’ll be talking about for a long time. These are the moments that matter—watching friendships grow and experiences begin for our youngest students!

Today we “rode into good fortune” at Acequia Elementary! 🐎✨
Our teachers were treated to a few symbols of luck and appreciation—with a drink in hand, of course! 🥤 Money for prosperity, chocolate for sweetness, oranges for good fortune, and herbal tea for a moment of calm.
Just like the Year of the Fire Horse, our teachers lead with strength, purpose, and determination every single day. We are so lucky to have a staff that gives so much to our students and school community.

We had a very special guest in the office today—Miss Hattie Tracy, our Principal of the Day! 🎉
Hattie earned this role by being a top seller in our Read-A-Thon, and she got a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of a principal. From helping with duties to running a few important errands… including delivering Fizz Farm drinks to staff! 🥤
A big thank you to our amazing PTO for the special treat—we felt so spoiled!
Hattie was an absolute natural and such a big help around the office. I’m just wishing I could keep this mini-me permanently! 😊
Thank you, Miss Tracy, for being such a great partner today—we loved having you lead alongside us!

“Ignite the Fire” ❤️🔥🐎
Today our students took time during lunch to create something truly special—handmade cards for their teachers. The kind filled with love, creativity, and little messages that mean more than they know… and the kind that teachers hold onto for years.
That Fire Horse spirit is all about heart, kindness, and connection—and we saw it shining bright today.
These are the moments that remind us just how powerful a few simple words can be. ❤️

On Thursday, we had an extra special treat at Acequia! Our very own Mr. Strauch took a personal day to spoil his colleagues with his incredible sourdough pizza—served hot and fresh in the teachers' lounge.
Paul, thank you for your generosity and for treating us to a lunch we’re still thinking about (and wishing we had more of!). It truly takes everyone to make this school what it is, and it’s the little things like this that make Acequia the very best. 🍕

Our staff made Principal’s Day extra sweet for Mrs. Hepworth! 🍦💛
With an ice cream theme centered around her very favorite treat (because let’s be honest… ice cream fixes everything 😉), the day was full of fun, laughter, and thoughtful surprises.
And the fun didn’t stop there… 250 mini ice cream cones somehow found their way into Mrs. Hepworth’s pockets throughout the day—bringing lots of smiles and a whole lot of appreciation.
Acequia is so lucky to have a principal who pours so much into her school, staff, and students each and every day. We appreciate you, Mrs. Hepworth! 🦅✨

We may have missed the official day on May 1st, but there’s no way we’re missing the chance to celebrate our amazing lunch heroes! 🍎💛
Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Lopez make our lunchroom such a special place to be. From the moment students walk through the line, they’re greeted with smiles, energy, and genuine care. Their excitement and engagement throughout the school is truly top notch, and the fun they bring each day does not go unnoticed.
Thank you for keeping our Eagles fed, happy, and feeling loved—we appreciate you today and every day! 🦅✨ #SchoolLunchHeroes

It may have been a cold, rainy Idaho day, which kept us indoors a bit more than we planned, but it didn’t stop us from celebrating and appreciating the world around us.
After a winter and early spring full of sunshine and warmer days (that we’ve been extra grateful for), today gave us a little reminder that every kind of weather plays a part in taking care of our Earth.
To add a little fun to the day, students enjoyed “dirt cups” at lunch — a sweet (and messy!) reminder of the ground beneath our feet and all the ways the Earth supports us every day.
Rain or shine, we’re thankful for this beautiful place we get to learn and grow in. 🌱

Today we celebrated the heart of our front office… our very own Mrs. Cheri — the Office Queen & Acequia MVP!
From band-aids to busy phones, fixing copiers to making last-minute copies, calming upset students to dropping everything to help wherever needed… she truly does it ALL. There is no way we could run our school without her.
To show just how much we appreciate her, our school was filled with balloons of every kind — ducks, flowers, butterflies, Barbie, “get well,” “congrats,” princess, "happy anniversary"… you name it, it was there! The office was overflowing with love, laughter, and a whole lot of helium.
We proudly wore our “We Love Your Face” stickers and had so much fun celebrating someone who gives so much to all of us every single day.
Mrs. Cheri, we love your face and we are so lucky you’re ours! 🎈

We are proud to recognize our Teacher and Classified Staff of the Year!
Mrs. Brittany Rigby was nominated as our Teacher of the Year—and it comes as no surprise. Her calm demeanor, kind heart, and constant encouragement make her someone everyone can count on. She is always there when you need her, ready with a compliment or simply a listening ear. Brittany truly makes a difference in the lives of both students and staff each and every day.
Miss Miriam Stocker was nominated as our Classified Staff of the Year. We have been so fortunate to have her at Acequia for a handful of years. Miriam brings a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a genuine love for our students. She always has a smile on her face, is willing to jump in wherever needed, and builds meaningful relationships with the kids she serves.
These two ladies represent what Acequia is all about. We are incredibly lucky to have them as part of our team.

Mrs. Turner brought the energy this month with an epic March Madness showdown! The competition was fierce, the battles were grueling, and every student gave it their best shot.
Through it all, one thing stood out... sportsmanship. Win or lose, our students showed what it means to compete with heart, support one another, and keep going.
And yes… there may or may not have been a few tears along the way—but that just shows how much they cared.
In the end, it was all about having fun, building character, and making memories. Way to go, everyone! 🏀

This month, our 4th graders turned Acequia Elementary into a hub of discovery, creativity, and curiosity! From growing terrariums to experimenting with slime and everything in between, students explored the world of science in hands-on, exciting ways.
They asked big questions, tested their ideas, and showcased their learning with confidence. We saw future scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers in action!
We are so proud of the effort, creativity, and enthusiasm our 4th graders put into their projects. Way to go, scientists! 🌱✨
