The Hillcrest High School community is once again spreading kindness through its annual Adopt a Family fundraiser! Each year, Hillcrest students and staff come together to support an average of 50 local families, helping them make the holidays a little brighter.

If you’d like to join in this heartfelt tradition, you can donate through Venmo using the QR code below or visit the link provided for more information. Every contribution—big or small—helps share the joy of the season and supports families right here in our D93 community.

Let’s come together to make this Christmas special for those who need it most.

Bonneville Joint School District 93, in partnership with the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office and the Bonneville Education Foundation, has launched a district-wide safety initiative to equip every classroom with a FAST Bucket (First Aid Supplies & Tourniquets).

Developed by our own School Resource Officers, each bucket contains essential emergency tools to help teachers and students be prepared in critical situations. Our goal is to raise $40,000 by December 14th—a day of remembrance—to ensure every classroom has a FAST Bucket by Spring 2026.

Every donation makes a difference in helping us protect students and staff across D93.

EIRMC, home to Idaho’s only Burn Center, has seen a troubling rise in pediatric scald injuries, with 14 children hospitalized in 2024 alone. Medical Director Dr. Tait Olaveson warns that hot liquids can cause severe burns in just seconds—especially when children are cooking with microwaved soups or drinks, or when bath water is too hot. Families can reduce risks by keeping microwaves at a safe height, using larger containers for hot liquids, and always testing bath water with the back of the wrist before placing a child in the tub.
