Congratulations to the October students of the month! These students were selected because they demonstrated the character trait of being a friend.
Our Halloween parade will begin at 9:30 on Friday morning. Family and friends are invited to watch the parade outside. You are welcome to stand anywhere outside (front, back, and sides of school). Students will be parading around the building.
Second grade students had the best time on their field trip at Rowley's Red Barn!

What a night! Our Fall Festival was a hit. Big shoutout to the PTA for making the magic happen!
We celebrated the September students of the month with our monthly parade. They marched through the halls while being cheered on by other students. These students were selected for demonstrating responsibility.

After learning about Body Systems, the first grade classes celebrated their knowledge by having a hospital day.
Students were able to heal sick pets at the pet hospital, put together body puzzles and be a surgeon while playing Operation the game. This was a fun experience as we wrapped up our body systems unit.
Hey there, corn-ivores! 🎉 Guess what's popping into our cafeteria tomorrow? That's right, we're getting all 'ear-y for a corn-tastic feast brought to us by the incredible Harward Farms! 🌽✨
Slide down to the cafeteria with your besties and take a bite of sunshine with our fresh-off-the-farm corn on the cob. It's so good, it'll have you kernel-ing for more! 😋🌞
On September 19th, Spring Lake Elementary 5th Grade students converged on Payson Memorial Park for a memorable day of teamwork and physical activity at their Battle Boot Camp. Thanks to the help of many willing parents, the students enjoyed several rotation activities in their day of Boot Camp training. They ran an obstacle course and had "marching practice" strapped in groups to 2x4s. Reconnaissance was practiced with a scavenger hunt about the park. Teamwork was practiced with games of Steal the Flag and a Laser Web Escape activity, as well as an obstacle course. The students enjoyed swinging across a “piranha infested river” to get their team safely onto a platform. That took some teamwork!
The weather was perfect, and Memorial Park was a great space for Boot Camp. The students’ favorite activity of the day was certainly the Flour Bomb Battle where they played in massive teams lobbing flour loaded nylon stockings at the opposing players. Morale waned a bit as the flour dusted troops marched back to the school, but they were able to keep trudging on with the memories of a great day.
Students in Mrs. Braden's class red a book about Welles Crowther, "The Man in the Red Bandanna." Welles was a hero who saved many individuals on September 11th. Students were given their own red bandannas as a reminder to serve others.
Fifth grade students visited the 9/11 Project today. This event provided students with a meaningful opportunity to learn, reflect, and honor the heroes and history of September 11, 2001. Students were able to listen to three native New Yorkers who were working in Manhattan the day the Towers fell. They also interacted with current members of the military, fire, and police professions.
We have an incredibly rare opportunity to participate in the 9/11 Remembrance Event being held at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds. This is not just for students, it is for all our families. Please take some time today , Thursday, September 11th through Saturday, September 13th from 9 am to 9 pm to attend this wonderful event. We are so grateful to the Major Brent Taylor Foundation for putting on this event and helping us to "REMEMBER".
