Students have chosen their East Meadows Student Council for 2011-2012. The student council represents and serves the school in a variety of capacities. They do morning announcements, learn about service-project opportunities, and come up with ideas to help improve the school. Those chosen to be on the student council got a little bit of campaign experience as they tried for various positions. They shared their talents and let us know how they could best serve the school. Congratulations to this year’s school council!
East Meadows 5th graders took the opportunity to visit Olympic Park near Park City. Olympic Park served as the 2002 Olympic venue for ski jumping, Nordic Combined, Bobsled, Skeleton and the Luge. Besides seeing how snow is great for fun winter activities, the students learned that snow is vital to Utah’s economy. In fact, it is even called 'white gold.' This year students got to see ski jumpers jump into the pool. They thought that was pretty awesome.
Young pirates roamed the halls of East Meadows Elementary today. They listened to pirate stories and participated in fun, learning activities.
The 2011 Fall 4-H afterschool program at East Meadows Elementary kicked off on September 6. The program is available to first through sixth grade students of the school. The primary goal of 4-H is to assist youth in developing life skills that help them live productive and satisfying lives.
East Meadows held the Reflections Kick-off Assembly today. This year’s theme is “Diversity means . . .” Students can explore and demonstrate what diversity means to them through different mediums such as dance, 3D art, theater, stories and songs. All students are encouraged to participate in Reflections. Entries are due October 5.
East Meadows students are going a little country. Mustang Week kicked off with art projects and western-themed stories. On Wednesday, many students donned western wear. Everyone had a chance to try some line dancing instructed by Katherine Beck. Students will enjoy an assembly tomorrow and finish the week with a field day on Friday.
