🌱 Scentsy Lights + No Donated Bear + Ola Students Return

Hello, people of Boise! It's me again, John Braese, your host of the Boise Daily.

Students are usually not anxious to return to class, but those in Ola cannot wait until Monday to get back to Idaho's oldest schoolhouse. Job seekers take note, grab your resumes on Tuesday. The Idaho Foodbank will take that antelope roast off your hands while the recent election apparently is not over in Meridian. If you are looking to get into the holiday spirit, a visit to Scentsy may be just what you need.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and warm. High: 65 Low: 49.

Here are the top stories in Boise today:

1. Students in Ola will be back in class on Monday. This may not appear to be a big deal to most, but for the past two years, the two-room school house has been closed. The oldest school in Idaho has been upgraded and now meets code according to Brian Holmes and KTVB-TV. (KTVB)
2. If you are in job market, the Idaho Capital Sun's Christina Lords has come good news. A job fair will be held in Meridian on Tuesday with more than 50 companies looking for applicants. (idahocapitalsun)
3. If you were lucky enough to bag that big buck this year, but the family does not love venison, the Idaho Foodbank will be more than happy to take those back straps off your hands.CBS2 news staff posts the guidelines for donating game meat. However, even the Foodbank will not take bear meat. (idahonews)
4. The election race for Meridian City Council has become messy. After a close election and request for a recount, an error has been found regarding the method the names were placed on the ballot. BoiseDev reporter Autum Robertson explains the error and what occurs next. (BoiseDev)
5. If you are out looking at Christmas lights this year, the Scentsy commons in Meridian is a must stop and walk. LITE-FM's Nikki West is an experienced light aficionado and provides her expertise. (liteonline)
