From the Principal: Building Connections Together
Dear Kuna Middle School Families,

As we enter the fourth week of the school year, we recognize that middle school can be challenging, and there are times when none of us have all the answers. What I’ve learned in this role is that it’s okay to acknowledge that we’re still learning—just like our students. In fact, it’s essential.

In these past weeks, we’ve seen classrooms buzzing with excitement, students learning their routines, and teachers working hard to build a solid foundation for the months ahead. And still with all the progress, we know there’s always room for improvement. One thing I want to express is my commitment to listening and being open to your ideas and feedback. It’s not just our school; it’s our community. And it’s built on the trust we share.

I’ve personally spoken with many of you—parents, staff, and students—and what I’ve heard has helped shape our next steps. Your voices matter. Whether it’s a question, a concern, or even a suggestion, I encourage you to keep sharing. I believe the strength of our school lies in how well we work together, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we can continue creating an environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

Partners in Learning,
Shelly Manuel

1st Responder & Military Appreciation Night - Help Us Spread the Word!
 
We are excited to announce that Kuna High School will host its 3rd annual First Responder and Military Appreciation Game on September 6, 2024. This tradition continues to grow, and we look forward to honoring even more first responders and military members, both past and present.

This year, we are honored to welcome Abbey Bolter, widow of Deputy Tobin Bolter, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty. The game will be dedicated to Deputy Bolter, and we will raise funds for the Bolter family as a small token of our gratitude for their sacrifices.

Our goal is to celebrate as many first responder and military heroes as possible, whether they have served in the past or are currently serving. Please share this invitation with anyone who may be interested in participating. It’s always a great night! A Blackhawk helicopter will also be landing at the event. 
Tickets for the game can be pre-purchased here: https://gofan.co/event/1514689?schoolId=ID14455
*All 1st Responders & Military members and immediate family will receive free admission and dinner (no need to purchase a ticket).

Donations to the Bolter Family can be made electronically here: https://kunaschools.revtrak.net/kuna-high-school/khs-fundraisers/
or mailed/in person to:
