Syringa Middle School

Congratulations to Sweden Rodebush! 🏆💙💛

Sweden had an incredible showing at the YMCA State Track Meet, bringing home wins in both the 100m and 200m! Her hard work, speed, and determination were on full display, and we are so proud to celebrate this amazing accomplishment.

Way to represent Syringa with Cougar PRIDE, Sweden! Keep chasing big goals and crossing finish lines. 👟✨

🔬✨ Syringa Science Fair = SUCCESS! ✨🔬
Our students showed up BIG time this year—thinking like scientists, asking questions, analyzing data, and sharing their discoveries with confidence! 🙌🧠💡
💧 7th Grade projects focused on water quality and their fieldwork at Deer Flat NWR—connecting classroom learning to real-world ecosystems right here in Idaho! 🌎💦
🔥 8th Grade projects tackled wildfire management & ecology—a topic that couldn’t be more relevant to our state. Students explored how fire impacts ecosystems and what we can do to manage it. 🌲🔥
We are SO proud of the critical thinking, perseverance, and creativity our students demonstrated. This is what it means to do science, not just learn it! 👏🔍
