And I think that will carry over into their academic classes,” she said.7th grade student Kimber Dioman said she’s excited abut the school year, as she’s making friends and is excited about the classes. “I really want to become a nurse and a doctor and stuff, that’s one of things I’m working towards going to,” Dioman said. Praegitzer said the school is working to establish partnerships with other schools and area businesses to support its trade programs.“We’re working with CSI, they are going to be starting coming in, Magic Valley Builders have been so sweet, and they have already had an interest in working with us. Classic Stoneworks was at our ribbon cutting ceremony and so they also have an interest in creating that,” Praegitzer said.Elevate Academy currently serves sixth through 10th graders, with plans to expand grade levels over time. A waiting list is in place, though Praegitzer said spots could open as the school year progresses.If you have any questions or want to inquire about enrolling, click here. </div></body>
