I am proud to say that with the Cyber-Safety classes, and because of our combined efforts, the incidents of online harassment by school-aged children in Caldwell have dramatically decreased. I appreciate your continued support as we move forward. Please follow us on the link below for updates and to schedule your presentation. At the Caldwell Police department, we have a presentation for both teens and adults which covers the dangers of social media. We want parent input and participation with this presentation and encourage you to see this presentation WITH your child.
“Oh What a Night!” Go PURPLE!
Oh my, what a night indeed! A crowd of about 800 went to dinner to support C of I athletics held at O’Connor Fieldhouse on April 30th! The price was right and the fever was high! It only helped that Horsewoods and their good reputation provided the dinner. $5,000 of the proceeds will go towards the “Go Purple” movement supporting Yote athletics. The night was designed to enthuse the community and it exceeded all expectations. Mitch Kelly along with his parents (owners of The Bird Stop), made one of his first outings since his successful brain surgery not too long ago. He addressed the crowd thanking them for all their support and prayers during his critical time and for all their help with the fundraiser held in his honor at the Bird Stop on March

24th to help with his expenses. There was also rousing entertainment to spice up the night. The Yote men came out in all their glory, pulling out no stops to entertain the crowd. Silent and live auctions occurred pulling in those community dollars. Desserts were sold. This event really brought the community together in a fun way to show their support of our College athletic department for all sports. There was a sea of Go Purple, as purple was the attire of the evening and Talie Elordi (pictured right) wore it well! On May 2nd, during the city council meeting, Mayor Garret Nancolas recognized Matt Strong, Go Purple organizer, and proclaimed April 30th to be “Go Purple Day.”
These finalists were selected from 70 previous contestants who auditioned. Paige (pictured 6th from left) with the other 8 finalists waiting for the verdict!
Little Girl-Big Voice! That’s our Paige! You may have heard her at a C of I football game last fall belting out the Star Spangled Banner for a crowd of 5,000 or at the God and Country Festival doing the same last summer for a crowd of 13,000. She is only 11 years old and she is amazing. On May 13th, Paige competed in “The Valley’s Got Talent” contest on the TVCC campus in Ontario in the Junior division for ages 16 years old and younger against 8 other finalists. She took home the trophy for 1st place. She impressed the judges with her flawless vocal performance of the song Hallelujah. She was told that her voice and performance was mature beyond her years. She won a trip with a parent to Portland to record in a studio there. She is an amazing talent for any vocalist at any age. Good luck Paige and congratulations! She’s on her way now!

Dear Parents, With summer around the corner, we at the Caldwell Police Department would like for your children to be safe while playing outside and while inside as well. A concern we share with you is the potential for problems while online. We have had several instances of inappropriate online behaviors come to light this school year. Although this is mainly coming from older students, it is a timely reminder that our role as parents is to guide our children in the use of this technology when at home. The majority of issues we see come from the comments and pictures that students post on Facebook. No child under the age of 13 can legally have their own Facebook account. Know the apps your child has access to. Any application, website or game that allows students to converse with others through the computer, or other online device, is one that needs to be carefully monitored. Make sure you know what your children are being exposed to (language, conversation, content and conversation intent), while they are on-line. Your child should NEVER be allowed to have personal technology devices in their rooms at night. This is the time they need to unplug and get the rest they need. We will continue to work to educate and advise all students on the moral and ethical use of technology, but, it takes a team effort to ensure that our children are safe. This lesson must be reinforced continually by all parents to ensure the message is being heard and understood. With “bullying” being a huge problem around the United States, Idaho has a passed a law for student harassment. Code 18-917(a) includes cyber
