☀️ Learning, Growing, and Thriving This Summer at Whitney!

This summer, Foothills Learning Center is bringing its summer school program to Whitney Elementary, providing students with engaging learning experiences that build confidence, strengthen skills, and support academic growth.

By expanding access to meaningful summer learning opportunities, Boise School District continues to advance its Strategic Plan commitment to student success, belonging, and educational excellence for every learner.

💃🎶 Celebrating Culture Through Dance at Whitney Elementary! 🇲🇽
Whitney Elementary summer school students had a special visit from TRIO, a federally funded program that helps students prepare for college, careers, and future opportunities. 🌟

TRIO shared the beauty, rhythm, and culture of Mexican dance as students learned new steps, experienced cultural traditions, and celebrated the joy of movement together. 👏✨

This meaningful experience supports student belonging, cultural awareness, community partnerships, and learning opportunities that help students grow inside and outside the classroom. 💙

Thank you, TRIO, for bringing this memorable experience to Whitney!
