Don't miss our upcoming DOUBLE FEATURE Musical performance night on March 3rd. This features our 2nd and 4th grade classes and promises to be a great night of entertainment and fun!
February's students of the month have shown amazing success in academics, citizenship, and overall fantastic behavior! We're proud to feature these falcons monthly to celebrate their achievement! Way to go!
Friday marked the 100th Day of School. Our Kindergarten classes really took full advantage of celebrating! There was palpable energy coming from all of these rooms all day! Congratulations Pillar Falls Falcons on an Amazing 100 Days of Learning!
Last week, we hosted a BINGO FOR BOOKS Night and it was a tremendous success! Families enjoyed time together, marking those game boards, and winning free books to share with their families! This will likely be an event we put on repeat, it was very well attended and such a great night! Thanks for joining in the fun!
A big surprise came to Ms. Ball, Pillar Falls Kindergarten teacher, today when the folks from the Twin Falls School District Education Foundation, ICCU, and Float Magic arrived to award her the "Teacher of the Month" Award! She received various rewards, as well as a trip into the cash machine to catch as many bills as she could! Her students especially loved watching this part. Congratulations Ms. Ball! She will be recognized at the annual Red Apple Gala in June alongside other teachers in the district who also received this distinguished award.
Compliments to Jenny Shaw, Certified Employee of the Month for January! Jenny is a counselor at Pillar Falls Elementary.
Jenny’s hometown is Buhl and she likes reading, crocheting, playing online games, and going for drives in nature. She would someday like to travel as much as she can. Few people know that when she was in high school he was an exchange student in the Netherlands. She decided to be a counselor because she wants kids to have a safe person to talk to about anything! She draws her inspiration from knowing that even kiddos need someone to confide in safely and her pet peeve is when adults do not give kids a chance to have their say. She wants to be remembered as a kind person who is accepting of everyone. Her best day on the job is when she can see a student advocate for themselves by respectfully and calmly telling others what they need.
Principal Note:
Jenny is an amazing counselor and I don’t know what we would do without her! She is kind, caring, and always willing to help anyone in need. Our students trust her and feel comfortable going to her with their problems. She jumps into help whenever she can and she makes our school a better place. We adore her and feel so lucky to have her on our staff!
Our BINGO FOR BOOKS party is just 2 days away! We'll see you on Thursday night for a great night! Can't wait!

Last week, Pillar Falls was fortunate enough to receive a visit from the Idaho State Treasurer, Julie Ellsworth! She came from the state capitol in Boise and taught our students in every grade well-planned lessons on finance, saving money, and the duties of a state treasurer. Students received mini vaults to begin their own savings accounts along with pretend money to get them started, and were encouraged to "Pay Themselves First!" We were so lucky to have her. Julie's granddaughters, Claire and Lydia were very proud to share their grandmother with all of us! Thanks for coming Treasurer Ellsworth!
Do you love your child’s teacher? Has your child had a teacher who made an impact or who went above and beyond?
Here in the TFSD we are lucky to have an Education Foundation that helps recognize our outstanding educators. To do this, they organized a Teacher of the Month program that named one elementary teacher and one secondary teacher for this honor. If you know a great educator, please take a moment to nominate them for this honor. The nomination application is open now and can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/PE1ez3kuFwBN77rW6

Join us on Thursday, January 23rd for “BINGO for BOOKS!” Come try your luck with fun BINGO games, fun with friends, and lots of books to be won! We’ll see you from 5:30-7 pm that night!
These Falcons are starting off the year setting an example of amazing citizenship, perseverance, and academic excellence! Congratulations to all of them!
Here is some info about the upcoming schedule for our Pillar Falls Music performances. Unfortunately, due to the high demand for time slots at the Roper Auditorium, we were only able to secure one evening for both performances. These will take place on March 3rd.
The 2nd-grade performance will begin at 6:00 PM.
The 4th-grade performance will start at 7:00 PM.
You are welcome to attend both performances or join us for the one that involves your student. We truly appreciate your understanding as we work to make the best of this situation.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on March 3rd!
There’s still time to make a difference! Homelessness impacts a child’s ability to learn, but with your support, we can provide the stability they need. Just $25 can provide hygiene supplies for a family, $75 can fund equipment for extracurriculars, and $150 can feed a student for a month. Let’s help them focus on learning, not survival. Donate before Dec. 31 to help TFSD reach our goal of $5,000. Every dollar helps! https://www.avenuesforhope.org/organizations/twin-falls-school-district #AvenuesForHope #LastChanceToGive #SupportTFSD
