Release times for the last day of school (June 4th)


The Idaho Association of Elementary School Principals (IAESP) is proud to announce Amy Arlint, Principal of Whitman Elementary School in Lewiston, Idaho, as the 2025 Idaho Gem Award recipient. This prestigious recognition honors outstanding leadership and meaningful contributions by elementary school administrators during their first two years in the role—those who demonstrate exceptional initiative, vision, and effectiveness well beyond what is typically expected of a new administrator.
Arlint, in her second year as principal at Whitman Elementary, exemplifies the spirit and intent of the Idaho Gem Award. From her first day in the position, she has gone above and beyond to create a collaborative and student-centered school culture, fostering academic excellence through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), and implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) to promote a safe, inclusive learning environment.
“Under Amy's leadership, Whitman Elementary has experienced notable improvements in student achievement,” said Lisa Fenter, Lewiston School District Curriculum Director. “She combines clarity of expectations with unwavering support for her staff, meeting them where they are while holding them to high standards. This balance has not only strengthened instructional practices but has also built trust and commitment among her team.”
Arlint’s leadership is built on a rich foundation of classroom experience. Prior to becoming a principal, she served as a fourth-grade teacher at McGhee Elementary in Lewiston, where she skillfully met the needs of diverse learners and supported inclusive education through Individualized Education Program (IEP) development and implementation. From 2012 to 2022, she was a special education, first, and third-grade teacher at Whitman Elementary, where she played a critical role in supporting students with a wide range of learning needs.
The District congratulates Amy Arlint on this well-deserved honor and for setting a powerful example of leadership in her early years as a school administrator.


Whitman Elementary gifted and talented students were tasked to complete an end of the year project—Adilena Frei and Avery Rader wanted to give back to their school by planning a soccer clinic. The girls worked together to write a proposal to Mrs. Arlint, communicated with teachers, planned and ran the clinic.
First grade students at Whitman rotated through four stations facilitated by Adilena and Avery, along with other GT student volunteers. The stations varied from learning soccer positions, scrimmaging one another, learning soccer fundamentals and playing games.
