Heritage Academy

🔬✨ Classroom Spotlight! ✨🔬

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Mrs. Martin’s Biology Class! 🌟
“Our High School Biology students embraced their inner mad scientist as they extracted real DNA from fruits like strawberries and bananas! 🍓🍌With just a few simple ingredients and some teamwork, they broke open cells and pulled out the invisible blueprint that makes living things…well, alive!”🧬

-Mrs Martin

We love seeing our Falcons learning, experimenting, and having fun in the lab! 💛💙

📸✨ School Picture Day is THIS Thursday, September 11th!
Make sure your Falcons look their best and come in uniform. Let’s capture those smiles! 💛💙

We’re thrilled to announce that we are the #1 Charter School in Idaho for READING GROWTH! 🙌 But that’s not all...

Out of over 165 school districts and charter schools across the entire state, we ranked #5 overall — that includes every public district and charter school in Idaho!

Our students, staff, and families have worked hard to make this possible, and it shows! 🚀📖

👏 HUGE shout-out to our incredible Reading Team — the driving force behind this amazing accomplishment! Their passion, skill, and heart make all the difference. Check out their photo below and help us celebrate them! 👇

Still energized from last week! ⚡️ Five of our rockstar students (and some of our awesome staff!) had the absolute time of their lives at the Ultimate Life Summit AND wow, what an experience! We laughed, made unforgettable connections with leaders and educators from around the globe, and came home completely inspired. 🌍💬💥 But the real highlight? Watching our students shine. Their boldness, confidence, and passion to create change blew us away. These young leaders are ready to shake things up and we are HERE for it! 🔥 This school year is going to be one for the books, and we can’t wait to watch these five take our community to the next level.

We have some amazing artists at our school! We had a blast decorating garbage cans for the Jerome County Fair's Garbage Can Decorating Contest. We can't wait to see them on display at the fair in August!

Today we finished up the last of the summer enrichment classes with a photography lesson on fast & slow shutter speeds. Students got to see the difference shutter speeds make on moving objects (like windmills) Then, we finished with my favorite "Painting with Light"

Today's art project was paint/chain pulling. So much fun! Sad to see the summer enrichment classes coming to an end.

Yesterday the Summer Art class made tie dye shirts for 4th of July. On Tuesday they will have the option to add stars. It was fun to see all the unique designs!

Pablo is once again soaring the seas! This time he's exploring the Arctic Circle 🌊

Here are some of the fun things the summer enrichment classes have been up to! Baking and Sewing has been tying quilts, sewing rice bags, making fleece blankets, caramel popcorn, and mint cookies. Yesterday they decorated flip flops. Photography and Art has been learning about all different composition techniques, and today they the took the technique of symmetry and applied it to different art forms. Students made resin coasters and spin paint canvases.

Falcon Leadership Team busy planning for next year!

Yesterday the summer sewing class took a trip to the Twin Falls Sewing Center where they learned a new technique to tie a quilt and picked up pillow making kits that they will sew and then donate.

Renovations are underway on the second level hallway and staircases!
