Shoshoni Schools

Hello Wrangler Fans, The 2021 Wrangler Invitational Basketball Tournament was a HUGE success due to the hard work of all the people who helped. Mistalyn Steffen set up a now world famous hospitality room that was maintained by Katsie McConnaughey, Emily Jarvis and Chelsi Fike. I heard 1 bus driver say there is almost a fist fight in their district for who gets to bring the teams to this tournament!! Thank you to Fluid Pro for donating 40+ large bags of ice while we are waiting for the arrival of a new ice machine for the training room. Thank you to the following for doing clock and book for 34 basketball games over 2+ days: Teresa DeWitt, Charlie DeWitt, Sarah Jarvis, Sabrina Thoren, Mistalyn Steffen, Shawn Steffen, Amy Mason, Sally Michelena, Arie Michelena, Aftann Kisling, and Holly Thomas. Thank you to Bruce Thoren for setting up a hot spot when the school's internet went down so those at home could still watch the action. The HS sports teams take a break from competition to practice skills over the next few weeks. The next competitions will be January 6, 7 and 8 of 2022.

December 16, 2021 Dear Families, Shoshoni Schools has become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17. The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district. We have heard reports from other districts that the same post is circulating in their schools. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously. The district has been in contact with the Shoshoni Police Department regarding the post. While we will not be in session on Friday, December 17th, we will be hosting the Wrangler Invite Basketball Tournament at the school. The Shoshoni Police Department will have officers on site at the school during the tournament as well as our SRO, Cody Myers. This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online. If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member or trusted adult right away. As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students. Sincerely, Bruce Thoren Superintendent

Our Giving Tree is up and full of tags! You can call 307-876-2583 and we can get you tag information without you having to come in! It takes a village to make projects like this a success. We had OT/PT help cut and hole punch tags. 2nd grade put pipe cleaners on the tags, helped put up the tree, and hung the tags. Counseling donated concession profits to the tree. We had several others who helped with concessions, making phone calls to families, donations that come in from our community, 4-H groups wrapping presents, donations of supplies and boxes, and the SRD helping distribute. THANK YOU ALL!!!
