At a recent basketball game we recognized and celebrated an amazing scholarship that is available to North Fremont seniors. Many of you are familiar with the Kurt and Genola Kandler Scholarship, but I think it might surprise you to know just how many of our students have benefitted. In the past 10 years we have had 182 students receive this scholarship, and $1,435,200 in total has been awarded! Thank you to all of the individuals who help manage this scholarship, and thank you especially to Kurt and Genola Kandler who made this incredible opportunity available to our North Fremont students!
NORTH SCHOOLS CLOSED (1/10/24). Due to road closures (HWY 32 and 47) we are unable to get the buses out this morning. With more snow and wind in the forecast, we are closing North Fremont JH/HS and Ashton Elementary today (Wed, Jan 10). Schools on the south end of the district will still be in session.
We have canceled both high school basketball games for today due to the weather.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEACHER INSERVICE. We want to thank local law enforcement, dispatch, Fremont EMS, and other emergency service personnel for helping us with our inservice at North Fremont High School today. All school staff from Ashton Elementary and North Fremont experienced active shooter drills, hostage situations, fire emergencies, and emergency medical support training. This was excellent practice and helped our schools better understand how to respond in emergencies. Your local schools will be conducting drills throughout the year to practice what we learned today. We will be repeating this training on January 19 at Henry's Fork Elementary (for HFE, PE, and TE) and on February 9 at South Fremont High School (for SFJ and SFH). If you would like to learn more or even see what is happening, contact your school for details.
The North Fremont Honor Society would like to thank all the local businesses and community members who helped out in our Silent Auction earlier this month. Your donations have helped members of our North Fremont Junior High and High School community to have a good Christmas this year. Thank you so much for making Ashton a great place to live!

The Ashton Youth Pickleball Club had a gallant season. For two months these Huskies played against much bigger and more experienced teams from Rexburg, Rigby and Idaho Falls. But the players had amazing courage and their improvement over the course of the season was remarkable. They played their last match on Thursday against Madison High School. They won two out of their five games. The winning players were Molly Hatton and Logan Garrett in doubles, and Molly Hatton, Logan Garrett, Max Harshbarger, Millie Harshbarger in a singles Dreambreaker game.
The club wishes to thank our community sponsors, Stronks & Sons Hardware Store, Harshbarger Farms, and 3 Rivers Screenprinting & Embroidery. If your child would like to play pickleball this winter, starting December 6th the community center will host a monthly Open Youth Pickleball Day on the first Wednesday of the month from 4pm-6pm. Ages 8 – 18.
