Oregon Trail Elementary School
We are diverse learners! This is where we belong!
Week 33 was packed full of so many special moments! 💛
All week long, our teachers felt so loved by our students and our amazing Oregon Trail families. Thank you for supporting us and showing your appreciation—we truly love what we do!
Our fourth graders kicked off the week with Pioneer Days fun, fifth graders captured memories with their graduation pictures and got to tour South Hills Middle School, and our line dancers did an incredible job performing at Engage in Education. Our paras went above and beyond by popping popcorn for every student and giving teachers some extra work time (such a gift!). Students were also treated to 10 summer meal coupons from Burger King, and ICCU spoiled our staff with a delicious lunch for Teacher Appreciation Week.
We are so grateful to be part of such a supportive community. Thank you for loving and taking care of us! 💙

🎉 Pioneer Day was so much fun for our 4th graders! 🎉
It was a day filled with adventure, laughter, and old-fashioned fun as students stepped back in time to experience life on the frontier.
A big thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who helped make this special day possible—we couldn’t have done it without you! 🤠🌾

Week 33 started off strong as a school community! 💙
We came together to celebrate Poetry Month by listening to some of Mrs. Ferrara’s students share their poems—what a great way to kick things off! We wrapped up our assembly with an encouraging message from Ms. Schroeder and Mrs. Peacock: “Finishing strong with paws.” 🐾 They reminded students of our schoolwide goals and expectations, sharing a powerful message: “We want you at every activity. Your choices decide if you stay. We aren’t taking away fun—we are protecting it.”
Our kindergarteners had an exciting visit from the Twin Falls Fire Department 🚒, we kept the fun going with line dancing in the sunshine ☀️, and our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders powered through and completed their final ISAT tests!
We’re so proud of everyone for continuing to finish the year strong!

Ms. Schroeder lives by a powerful mission: be curious, live with purpose, see the genius in others, and inspire change. She brings this mindset into everything she does—whether she’s playing pickleball, cooking, exploring, caring for her plants, making memories with her 5 boys, or leading our school with heart and vision.
Her passion for education shines through in every decision she makes, always putting students first. Oregon Trail is incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and inspiring leader.
Happy Principal Appreciation Day, Ms. Schroeder! 💙

Week 32 was full of fun and memorable moments! We continued working hard on ISATs, enjoyed having Yeoman teach our 5th graders how to play Flip 7, and kept moving with some line dancing. We celebrated birthdays with donuts, welcomed future students at Kindergarten Open House, and had some chilly fun with bubbles outside. From matching outfits to ABC Countdown activities, we wrapped it all up with cozy clothes and hats to end the week!
