SUPPORT GROUPS
Support Groups starting again second semester! Does your student need extra emotional support? Borah is offering support groups second semester to all students. The purpose of a support group within the high school setting is to provide participants with a comforting, safe environment where they feel free to express themselves. In addition to providing emotional support, group participation also allows students to establish meaningful and trusting relationships with their peers. If you would like your student to participate, fill out this form https://forms.gle/aZhuzQng6pHgxSDQA or contact Becky Woodland at rebecca.woodland@boiseschools.org or 208.854.6916.

From the Library
The Borah Library is open every day 7:20-3:20. Students can enjoy after school study time at “Lions Den” in the Library, Mon-Thurs 3:20-5pm. We assist students daily in finding the perfect book, be it print and/or eBook/eAudiobook. Students complete, print and submit assignments here. Students can access a plethora of professional articles and research through the “Database” page on our website. This is a 21st century library commons and we encourage students and classes to make use of our diverse collection of technology and tools: audio/video recorders, editing software, iMac, Adobe Suite, tablets, programmable robots, 3D printer, cutting tools, craft supplies and games. Stop by or check out more about the library on our website: http://borah.boiseschools.org/students/library. We’re here for you 24/7! Also, if your student has any issue with their BSD issued Chromebook the Library is here to help!
Additionally, Check out these stats: Boise Schools students checked out 257,772 books during the first semester! That’s almost 11 books per student. Nicely done readers!!! Included in that total are eBooks, audiobooks and graphic novels, all of which help us become stronger readers and experience more stories. Help your student make reading a habit by joining them to set aside time each day/week to read together, without devices around. Bonus, reading can reduce stress and anxiety.
Ask your student if they know about the BSD XBooks 2024 Reading Challenge yet? It’s our every other year-read 50 books challenge. Even doing some of it is a great accomplishment! Those that complete reading and documentation in each category are awarded with a custom sweatshirt.
