When and Where is Baby Animal Days Happening Near Southern Idaho?
Many people are animal lovers, especially in Idaho. It is rare to find someone in the Magic Valley who doesn’t have a dog, isn’t at least feeding a stray cat, or doesn’t have a horse, goat, chicken, cow, or pig. It seems like everyone has pets in the Gem State, and when it comes to animals in the area, most want to help and take care of them. When it comes to having a pet, the most enjoyable time is when they are babies, but sadly, this time doesn’t last long enough. Puppies and kittens grow up too fast, and you blink and miss it and your baby pig or goat is fully grown. This spring you have the chance to be surrounded by baby animals and interact with some of the cutest creatures on the planet.

Local school administrator named Idaho’s Superintendent of the Year – East Idaho News
REXBURG — A local school administrator has been named Idaho Superintendent of the Year for 2026, recognizing his work at Madison School District.
According to a news release from the Idaho Association of School Administrators, Randy B. Lords Jr., the superintendent of Madison School District 321, was selected to represent Idaho as a nominee for the National Superintendent of the Year award.
He became superintendent for the district in 2021, where he has focused on improving academics through new programs and fostering the well-being of students and staff.
Lords was chosen, according to the release, due to his work on three main points:
- His support for career and technical education programs for students and for the use of an artificial intelligence-literacy program.
- His work on fiscal responsibility, with a focus on the district’s future growth and maintenance of its facilities.
- His work to improve parent and community involvement with the school district.
The ISAS executive director highlighted in the release Lords’ work to navigate the intricacies of leadership and improve the district’s academics.
“This recognition deeply humbles me, but this award belongs to the incredible faculty, staff and students of Madison School District,” Lords stated in the release. “Our success is a testament to the collaborative spirit of our community. I am honored to serve our families and will continue to work tirelessly to ensure every student has a world of opportunities at their fingertips.”
