COEUR d'ALENE — The bell rings at 9 every morning at Winton Elementary School. After students listen to announcements and stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, the teacher sets a timer for one minute. Students sit and observe the new moment of silence required by Idaho law.
“I think it's good we can have a minute of silence before the day starts,” said Sierra Day, a fourth grade student at Winton Elementary. “I like to pray, and then think about how my day will be.”
