Help Contribute Funds for Boosters Monthly Teacher/Staff Lunches

What makes Boise High such a great place? OUR TEACHERS! The BHS teachers and staff are amazing! Not only do they help our kids excel, they care deeply about our Brave family. And do you know what makes these wonderful teachers and staff feel immensely LOVED -- our awesome monthly lunches. Once a month, we make their load a little lighter and treat them to lunch. Our 150 staff members roll in with smiles on their faces. Words can't adequately express how much this means to them.

We turned our holiday lunch into a mini party: mocktails, music, a delicious tamale bar from La Tapatia and a team of festive smiling servers. The vibe was wonderful - they felt the love! Please help contribute to their monthly teacher/staff lunches. It really does make an impact.

Teacher Testimonials

I can't thank the Boise High Boosters enough for the monthly lunches. Boise High is a HUGE campus, and there are so many teachers here that I never see unless we get together for a Booster lunch. Between the food, fun drinks, and camaraderie - it is the highlight of the month. Thank you so much. I feel very spoiled and lucky to work at Boise High. - Amber Tetrick

The support you guys have for our staff is incredible. I am so thankful for the lunches, grants, and everything you guys do for our school. It is always a joy to know that I don't have to bring a lunch on that day. One thing off our "plates" leads to a full "plate":) - Sam Parry

I look forward to a Wednesday Brave Booster Lunch more than I do a Friday--that's saying a lot. - Seth Garrison
