Drinking Water Warning - Terreton School Campus - July 18, 2024 until further notice.

For my senior project this year I am holding a basketball camp. I have had a love for basketball since a young age and want to share what I know with others. At this camp, we will have drills that focus on shooting, ball handling, defense, and passing. We will also have competitions and some pretty cool prizes! All the proceeds from this camp will go to the Ben and Melissa Briggs family as they fight their battle with cancer. They are such good people and I want to help them out as much as possible. Please sign up asap so we can get everything needed for the camp! Thanks, Tate Simmons 208-973-2058
