T.R.E.E.
(Teens Restoring Earth’s Environment) Club
is a student club for students who have an interest in,
and appreciation of a healthy environment:
clean air, clean water, clean cities, nature and
natural spaces. The
club’s goals are to educate students about local,
national and international environmental issues, as well
as provide opportunities for students to get involved in
their local community.
The TREE Club has been active in a number of local
events, such as the Boise River Clean-Up, Rake Up Boise,
and the Boise Earth Day celebration.
Members of the TREE Club have also assisted local
environmental organizations (Idaho Rivers United, Snake
River Alliance, Sierra Club), as well as served on the
planning committee for the Earth Day celebration.
The club is headed this year by Breanne Gratton, a
junior here at Boise High. About
every other year, the TREE Club raises money to take a
trip to
Yellowstone
during President’s Day weekend.
This year, a group of 18 students, and five adult
chaperone/drivers took the trip to our first national
park. It was
a jam-packed weekend with hikes around the Mammoth Hot
Springs area, soaking in the natural
hot springs
, wildlife watching, snow shoeing, ice skating, and even a
few snowball fights.
The group saw all kinds of wildlife: bison,
coyotes, elk, bald eagles, bighorn sheep….and even
wolves! –Mr.
Quissell
Boise
High's Focus the Nation Global Warming initiative
group will begin a "carbon diet" on Tuesday,

the planet by learning what you can do to make your carbon
footprint small.

Congratulations
to the Drama Dept. for the wonderful performances
last week of "Curious Savage" and
"You Can't Take It With You".
These were both so much fun and the idea of doing
two performances on the same set during the same
week was very thoughtful and risky, but
successful! We think you all did
fantastic jobs in your roles of acting, costuming,
directing, lighting, etc. Kudos to Mr.
Eshelman and all of the BHS Drama Dept. We
look forward to what you have in store for us
next.....follow the
Yellow Brick Road
, oh my. We're not in
Kansas
anymore!!!! –
