Snake River Review
Student Essays Exploring Idaho History
The Snake River Review, our annual publication of essays written by regional
high school students, also saw great success. Our sixth edition became available to the public on August
15th. This year's published authors are: David Pace, Lauren Braden, Tiffanie Franco, William Frei, Elizabeth
Browning, Paul Tomechko, Rita Beard, and Michelle Klingler. These authors received a $500 scholarship from
the Museum of Idaho. Special thanks go to the presenting sponsor, the Maeck Family Foundation, for
providing financial support to
this program.
Former Attorney General for the State of Idaho, Larry EchoHawk, provided the
keynote address at the awards ceremony
August 15th. The Snake River Review program expanded this year to include a writing course for
educators. Participants
earned college credits and received writing training from two of Idaho Falls most respected
teachers, Jim Francis and Mark
Hatch. The participants also wrote essays that will be published in a special edition of the
Snake River Review in the fall. Due to
the success of this year's course, the Museum of Idaho expects to offer it again next year.
