See How We Celebrated American Education Week
Last week, the BCSD and BCEA (Blaine County Education Association) teamed up to present "Educator for a Day."  Community members from Ketchum City Council, Sun Valley City Council, Blaine County Commissioners, YMCA, ERC, BCEF, Cimino Foundation and PTA's volunteered to step into the shoes of an educator and become teachers for a day. Thank you to the educators, community members, and staff who helped us celebrate the important work our teachers do every day in our classrooms.
