A Clear Skies therapist will meet with students at school and is able to accept many insurance plans.

If you think your student may benefit from this support or if you have questions, please reach out to your student’s counselor or Katy Metzger, Timberline Social Worker:

TREE Club

Help Us Recycle, Reduce Waste & Win!

Timberline Tree Club, in partnership with the Boise Rotary Club and Redwood Materials, is excited to host a year-round Lithium-Ion & Rechargeable Device Recycling Drive! Lithium-ion batteries are found in many of the devices we use every day, but they can be surprisingly difficult to recycle properly. When they are thrown in the trash or placed in the wrong recycling bin, they can create fire and safety hazards and contribute to unnecessary waste. Properly recycling these batteries allows valuable materials to be recovered and reused instead of ending up in landfills. That’s why this drive is a great opportunity to make responsible recycling easier for our Timberline community! Throughout the entire school year, students and families can bring eligible lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable devices to Mr. Barnes’ classroom, Room 212. Items can include old cell phones, electric toothbrushes, rechargeable batteries, and cordless power-tool batteries. Every time you bring in an eligible item to recycle, you will be automatically entered into that month’s raffle for a $25 Visa gift card! Two or three winners each month!  The next time you find an old rechargeable device or battery sitting around the house, send it with your student to school. You’ll help keep difficult-to-recycle materials out of the waste stream, support a more sustainable community, and have a chance to win $25 while doing it!

On Tuesday, September 29th, all BSD Juniors will attend the Boise National College Fair at Expo Idaho.
