The Festival Board and Team believe that sharing the history of sheep in this region, their impact on the land, along with the context of the formation of the Festival with students, is relevant to many elements of curriculum including science, geography, geology and history. To this end, the Festival is relaunching a program to provide education about ranch life and the culture of the Idaho sheep industry.

In Spring 2026, we are offering a lesson plan and curriculum aimed at 3^rd to 5^th grade students that includes resources and projects for educators, parents and anyone working with students at these grade levels, to implement at a time of their choosing.

Thank you for your interest in keeping the stories and culture of Idaho sheep ranching alive and well in your classroom, home school and beyond!

NOTE: The Festival team plans to create and expand curriculum for K-12 students over a three-year period. In time, these lesson plans will be hosted on the Festival’s website so homeschooling parents and educators in any geographic area will be able to access them.
