The Play's the Thing
by Amy Davis
The Godmother - this year’s district musical - is a Cinderella story from the perspective of an over-ambitious fairy godmother-in-training. Set in present day New York City's "Little Italy", this tale focuses on the Donizetti sisters and the hilarity that ensues as they encounter a little magic and a lot of mayhem (be careful what you wish for)!
The Godmother will be presented in the Basin Elementary gymnasium Friday, March 16th, at 7:30 P.M. and Saturday, March 17th, at 4:00 P.M. and 7:30 P.M. Tickets are $3 for one performance or $5 for two performances. All proceeds will be donated to Eugene Sanders and his family.
8th Grade Iditarod Project
by Mary Ellen McMurtrie
The eighth graders have each voted for their favorite to win the 2012 Iditarod. They have been researching the race and the mushers in preparation for reading Jack London’s The Call of the Wild. Hopefully there will be enough snow to have a snow sculpture activity before spring break. They will be writing adventure stories, so they may be asking for ideas.
March Pizza Fundraiser
The pizza fundraiser this month is being sponsored jointly by the third grade and the Art Department. If you are interested in ordering a pizza and have not been contacted by one of the students, you can get a copy of the order form from the Forms page of the district website: www.idahocityschools.net
Either school office will also accept orders. Another option would be to contact either Julie Randolph (392-6631) or Krystal Murphy (392-4183).

Senior Job Shadow
By Mary Ellen McMurtrie
The seniors spent a day on the job last month. They contacted and arranged to job shadow someone who is working in a field that interests them. The papers they wrote detailing their experiences show that it was time well spent out in the real world.
