What is winter…….? By Mrs. Rife’s Class
Snowmen and snowballs,
beautiful falling snow and icicles,
Angel wings on the snowy ground,
Polar bears and an avalanche
Whoa!
Playing in the snow!
Skiing and sledding and snowball fights,
February 19th the winners of Park View's Science Fair went to the Regional Competition to show off their hypotheses, their theories and experimentation. Two of our scientifically minded students are moving on to the Central Utah Science and Engineering Fair. Hannah Hinton and Jackson Fitzwater will be representing Park View at this event.
All the 6th graders participated in Nova. N.O.V.A stands for Nurturing, Opportunities, Values and Accountability. Officer Bill Wright taught the students many valuable lessons. They learned about how to have a successful life through making right choices with their education, with their associations with others, and with staying healthy. Everyone's favorite lesson was about the boiled frog. Little changes in temperature are not noticed; pretty soon the frog is at the boiling point, and then it's too late.
Love is in the air! Heart grams are being sent to couples and friends. Each grade has a party to celebrate. We are going to tell you about all of them.
Student Councel sold Heart Grams. You could get one for your lover and friends, maybe roses or other beautiful flowers. The profits from the Heart Grams went to benefit the Primary Children's Hospital. Three thousand Valentines were sold. That's a lot of love.
Under the direction of Mr. Broadbent, Park View held a Science Fair. Students worked for week planning, hypothesizing, experimenting and taking data to perfect their project. Students presented their experiments and they were judged. The winners will participate in the District Science Fair on February 24. Congratulations to all who participated.

Snowman and Me!
By Mrs. Barney’s 2nd Grade Class
One day I made a snowman when it was recess time,
His eyes were made of gumdrops, His mouth was made of dimes.
Students auditioned for the Journalism Club for the last half of the year in January. They commit to meeting every Tuesday after school to work together to keep the community informed as to the happenings of our school. They hope you enjoy their stories. Check out the school website often to see their hard work and contributions.
I was walking down the awesome halls of Park View Elementary and it hit me like a slap in the face! I wondered how many teachers have class pets. Read on to find out!
I tried to find Mr. Gowens. He was not thereL. Then next was Mrs. Allred she was in her classroom. This is what I learned! Her pet is a lizard named Spot. We’re not sure on Spot’s age. Spot eats crickets. Have any crickets handy? Who feeds Spot you ask? Mrs. Allred does. The students clean the cage! Last but not least, the lizard, Spot, walks around and sits on desks!
Imagine if your school was doing a mimic of the Beehive Book Award? Well Park View Elementary did that.
