I want to take a moment and let folks know that the IESDB and ISDB are here to serve our students, families and partners in the State of Idaho. Like other schools throughout this great state, we are missing having smiling laughing children in our hallways. We are missing watching the growth and brilliance of discovery within our walls. That being said, we are making every effort to help your children continue to learn, although at a distance, for now. Thank you to a wonderful team, Teachers, Principals, Paras, and Directors, all jumped in immediately to make this happen. Please be patient as we figure this out – our number one priority continues to be your child, Thank you
We celebrated the 20th anniversary of the publication of J. K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by going to Hogwarts on Halloween!
ISDB students had a truly magical day playing Quiddich, drinking Butterbeer and eating Cauldron Cakes and Pumpkin Pasties. They stopped by Honeyduke's Candy Shop for a taste of Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Sherbet Lemons, Scamander's Newts and Golden Snitches after being sorted into Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin Houses by the Sorting Hat. They played with potions, read Harry Potter books and cast a few good spells with their magical wands before playing Pin the Nose on Voldemort-protected by a stag Patronus, of course....
We loved learning about the universe that J.K. Rowling created when she wrote these books, and our students all looked forward to reading them if they hadn't before, or leaving the Muggle world behind for another tour of the magical world of Harry Potter.
