BCHA News:
"Idaho Day Contests for Bonneville County Students"
Bonneville County Teachers and Students!
Legislation passed last year designates March 4th of each year as Idaho Day.
The Bonneville County Heritage Association is planning a celebration event for
that day. In conjunction with this celebration, the BCHA is sponsoring several
contests.
The contests include map drawings, artistic creations, and a variety
of writings. The intent of the variety of contests is to give all students an
opportunity to demonstrate a skill and participate. There are contests for a
Junior Division (Grades 4) and a Senior Division (Grades 7-12). Contest entries
may be displayed during the local Idaho Day Celebration event. Some contest
winners will be invited to perform during the event. A cash prize will be
given to the contest winner.
Please feel free to use the contests in whatever ways best suit your purposes.
Many of the contests provide activities that support Idaho learning standards
and so may be appropriate for completion in class. However, all of the contests
may be announced and provided to students to complete on their own. Teachers
are not expected to collect contest entries. That is the responsibility of the
student.
A ".ZIP" file containing 23 Word documents with the descriptions and the
scoring rubrics for the various contests can be downloaded
here
.
"Historic Bonneville County, a Centennial History" by Mary Jane Fritzen is for sale at the Chamber of Commerce, Museum of Idaho gift shop, and at some bookstores.
