Genesee School District is looking for K-12 Art/Gifted & Talented facilitator and Spirit Coach for 08-09

Let’s thank Shishona Thurston for making the effort to travel all the way to Boise in May to get certified to write grants for Troy’s community work. Troy Horizons paid for her registration and travel expenses to do this. Michele Vachon is working with Rune Frossmo, the owner of the Old High School, to find grant money for the renovation, and now Shishona will be able to help her.

Shishona has also helped organize work parties at the Old High School and a community meeting on June 12th with facilitator Jim Witham to help the entire community (different organizations and segments of the population) think about how they want to use the Old High School. Moreover, working with the Troy Historical Society, she helped put together a T-shirt for this amazing project (coming soon), so that everyone can show their pride and commitment to making this vision a reality!

Thanks Shishona!

Over the winter, the University of Idaho Food Service helped put on a weekly free community dinner in Troy that became a wonderful place for community conversations.

Troy liked the idea so much that they want to continue community dinners. So, the City asked Troy Horizons to help host one. The resulting event on May 10th was especially successful, as different organizations and business people had an opportunity to meet one another and talk about Troy’s future.
