Anser is serving as one of seven "Studio Districts" in the Idaho Leads Project to build leadership capacity in Idaho Schools. Studio Districts were chosen as "bright spots" in the Idaho Education system. Anser was highlighted on the Idaho Leads Project, check out the story here. http://education.boisestate.edu/idaholeads/2012/05/14/anser-soars-to-success/

JH Youth for Human Rights Celebration and Exhibition Night is May 24th at the Anne Frank Memorial from 5:30-8:00. There is a cycling race downtown and parking may be an issue. Plan on coming early and be prepared for some congestion.

Anser Dad Sean Gaffney was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) on February 12, 2012. Many Anser friends have offered support to the Gaffneys. They would like to invite anyone who would like to attend and support Sean to a special fundraising event. Share this evening with Sean and Penelope, talk to Sean about his journey thus far, and give them an opportunity to thank, in person, the people that have been so supportive.    This event is a fundraiser for Sean Gaffney. We will raffle artwork, wine and even an IPad 3 for those who donate. For more information:  

As has been our tradition, the last Whole School Community of the year is the opportunity for the school to recognize and celebrate our 8th grade students. This year, that will take place on Wednesday, May 30th from 8:20 - 9:20 in the gym. This is truly a heart-warming and sweet event; families, please join us in this celebration. Bring your hankies!
