Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 8th of July.
Good morning, Idaho Falls.
🏘️ Community
Idaho Falls donors raised over $13,000 in a 25-hour America 250 fundraiser for the Community Food Basket to help supply food during summer.
Organizers say the funds will provide a truckload of food for families and plan a 100,000-pound drive in October + ongoing donations.
🎓 Education
Teton Valley School District is facing a tough hiring market for support staff due to funding limits, high housing costs and competition from Jackson Hole.
Superintendent Brian Ashton said some employees are covering double roles — a gap the upcoming supplemental levy in November may help fill.
🏈 Sports
A Georgia angler set a new Idaho catch-and-release record with a 30.5-inch brown trout on May 30 while drifting a fly on the South Fork Snake River with guide Ed Emory of South Fork Lodge.
Idaho Fish and Game verified the record as exceptionally rare.
