April 2014

On April 25, all fourth grade students from Park View were able to go on a field trip to the John Hutchings Museum in Lehi. The students rotated through rooms that included early Utah pioneer artifacts, rocks and minerals, fossils, animals of Utah and Utah during the Wild West. Students were also able to view an exhibit featuring ancient Native American pottery and weaponry. Students were able to play the drums and feel a buffalo skin. The fourth graders were given a piece of obsidian after they exited the Hutchings Museum. Afterwards, the fourth grade had lunch in the park.

On Thursday, April  24, fourth graders from Park View competed in the Hershey Track meet at Payson High School. Other fourth graders from Orchard Hills Elementary, Santaquin Elementary, Goshen Elementary and C.S. Lewis Academy competed in the track and field events. Park View students competed in the softball throw, long jump, 50, 100, 200, and 400 meter runs. Kiri Barney from Miss Hutchinson's class scored third place in the finals of the 200 meter run. Great job to all of the fourth graders for doing their best!
