Third Graders Visit the Botanical Gardens

Safe Routes to School - Grant - Please Vote

Please spread the word to anyone you know.  Vote today. Deadline is Friday.

The City of Caldwell is applying for a $250,000 grant to make it safer to walk to Sacajawea and Washington Elementary Schools.  Our crosswalks are not well lit.  Many of our streets don't have sidewalks, so our kids need to walk to and from school in the streets.  We'd love for more of our kids to be able to walk safely to school.

Please check out the Caldwell video at the link below and vote for our project. Voting closes this Friday, September 30th.
