Everyday Leadership is an afterschool program for select at-risk 5th and 6th graders in Title One Schools in the Boise School District. It focuses on teaching life skills and building self-esteem. This is a collaboration with the Boise School District, YMCA, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and Boise Sunrise Rotary Club. In December, we heard from Bob Rainville of Sunrise Rotary and Sonia Galaviz, our outstanding 5th Grade Teacher who leads the Garfield program. They shared with us the great results of the Everyday Leadership Program our Boise Metro Rotary Club supports at Garfield Elementary School. Outcomes being achieved include: positive behavioral changes, improved grades, reduced disciplinary incidences, high selection for other leadership programs. I have attached Bob’s presentation. In all, 6 Title One Schools in Boise are involved. Long term goals are to expand to all Boise Title One Schools by 2021/22. We also seek to inspire adoption by other Treasure Valley School Districts.

The stanchions that will hold our three interpretive signs at the Greenbelt Park have been fabricated by Trademark. The design is to reflect the design of the nearby trestle bridge. We're hoping that the final pieces of our project will be completed this spring - moving the monument, installing the second batch of bricks and installing the signs. (We wonder if the spring bulbs are poking through?)
