We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the veteran's from the American Legion that presented a moving assembly today for our students.

If you walked down the second-grade hallways last week you saw many creative Halloween pumpkins. Each student brought home a pumpkin from their field trip that they decorated over the weekend and brought to display for the week of Halloween. Thank you students and the many parents who helped to make this a fun activity.
The second grade enjoyed a fall field trip on Thursday, October 23. They walked the Provo River Trail and explored Bridal Veil Falls. Then they went to the BYU Bean Museum. They finished up their day at Jaker's Pumpkins Patch. They each got to pick a pumpkin to take home and decorate to bring back to display in the halls the following week.
The fourth grade held their annual Mountain Man Rendezvous on Thursday, October 23, 2014. This is a fun tradition the fourth grade does to finish their unit on Utah's Explorer's and Mountain Men. These past weeks the students have been earning beaver pelts for good behavior, staying on task, etc. They then use the beaver pelts to trade for goods or services that the students brought from home. The students had collected items from their homes such as: toys, trinkets, games, things they thought might trade at the rendezvous. Some made games and had small prizes.
