Every year, the Magic Valley Symphony puts on a special concert only for 4th graders hosted by our music teacher, Mrs. Butler. It is used as an introduction to different instruments and playing in an ensemble. After the private concert, the fourth graders can go around to all of the different musicians and see how their particular instrument is played. The Magic Valley Symphony will perform on October 13th at 6 pm at CSI. Amy Toft kindly presented each 4th grader with a free ticket to the upcoming concert. Hopefully, many of our Panthers will be able to attend the big event.
Mrs. Maughan, our librarian, has decided to start this chapter of her career with a challenge. She is going to read every book in the library. We will document her journey throughout the year; it will be a real page-turner.
So far, she has read the following:
The Clockwork Three ( Matthew J. Kirby)
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Judi Barrett)
Grumpy Monkey (Suzanne Lang)
Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent (Bill Peet)
The Pinkish, Purplish, Bluish Egg (Bill Peet)
What do you do with an idea? (Kobi Yamada)
Oliver Twist (Charles Dickens)
The next time you see her, ask her what she is reading now.

On Friday we rolled out the red carpet and our kindergartners had a ribbon-cutting ceremony to honor the grand reopening of their classrooms. They had been working in the modulars at the start of the school year due to construction. They are all excited to be in their "new" classrooms.
From kindergarten through fifth grade, the Perrine Panthers all celebrated Constitution Day. Every grade had a different way to celebrate our country and the structure that it is built upon.
Perrine hosted the first Family Clubs Night this week. It was a free event and over 100 people attended. They were able to visit various Clubs throughout the school. There was Chess Club, Cup Stacking, Art Club, Book Club and Food Club. Additionally, the entrance was filled with tables of free items for guests to take home (hats, books, toiletries, and food items). It was so exciting to see current students, past students, families, and staff all interacting and having a great time. We can't wait to see everyone at the next one on October 8.
Perrine is always building fun ways to celebrate our Panthers. This week has lots of amazing events. Tuesday through Thursday, the PTO will have their store open during lunchtime. Thursday evening is Family Clubs night (a fun and free event). Friday, our student council is sponsoring Color Wars and Pajama Day. Please see the attached flyers to see how you can help to make these events even more successful.
Picture Retakes Coming September 22nd! - If your child missed School Picture Day, here is another opportunity to capture their beautiful smile. You can also have your child retake their picture if you weren't happy with the previous one. Please let your child's teacher know ahead of time if your child will be participating. Thank you.
Don't forget, no school tomorrow.
The 2nd graders enjoyed some hands-on science. They built their own mountains to explore how water flows downhill. They observed the different paths water can take as it moves from higher ground to lower ground!
In honor of Constitution Day, wear your Stars and Stripes or red, white, and blue clothes to school tomorrow.
Our Perrine Library is such a welcoming place for our Panthers. Yesterday marked the first day for our students to have the privilege of checking out books. Can you still remember checking out your first library book?
Perrine's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) had its first meeting of the 2026-27 school year. They are already making plans to celebrate and support our students, families and staff. Plans are being made for dances, fundraisers, community nights and so much more. Please consider attending the meeting next month to see what this organization is all about.
Dear TFSD Families and Staff,
In the wake of the Canyon West shooting on August 1, the City of Twin Falls is leading a community-wide effort to facilitate recovery and support our town.
As part of this initiative, the city has created a survey to better understand which supports and resources are most needed. As a community partner, the Twin Falls School District is sharing this survey and encourages all of our staff and families to take a few moments to complete it.

We remain committed to partnering with the City of Twin Falls throughout this restorative process to ensure our students, staff, and families receive the care and resources they need.
Thank you for your participation and ongoing support of our community.
Sincerely,
Twin Falls School District Administration
According to Ms. Waugh, "When it is too hot in the classroom, you should enjoy the cool breeze and the shade of the trees to do science!" It seems that the fourth graders agreed with her.
Perrine Elementary School would like to proudly share the 2026-27 Student Council. Congratulations to all of these bright leaders.
The 2nd graders at Perrine enjoyed creating their Beetle Glyph masterpieces during a math lesson. All of the 2nd graders had the opportunity to create their unique beetles. It was a fun way to find out more about each other.
