Story from the Daily Herald:
In the United States today, there are 20 million living veterans. These are men and women who have fought or are fighting to protect our freedoms. To honor these veterans, many schools conducted special assemblies Monday, including Park View Elementary in Payson, which welcomed country music singer Nathan Osmond to entertain students, staff, parents and veterans.
The fifth and sixth grade student council members went on a field trip to CLAS Ropes Course in Provo. They learned techniques in problem solving, leadership, human relationships, communication skills, conflict resolution, group cooperation, building self-confidence and esteem, trust, self-direction, motivation, and values.
These student’s were chosen for following school rules, being kind to others, and working hard in class.
Park View storytelling festival was held on Friday September 27th. The weather was a factor this year and so at the last minute changes were made and the festival was brought inside. We had many parent volunteers and PTA members that helped make that change possible. The doors opened at 4:00 and the halls were filled with our Park View students and their families. The event was well attended. The students enjoyed an array of games, food and activities, parents and students of each class helped make our baskets beautiful.
Our SEP Conferences were held October 2nd and 3rd. Mrs. Reynolds arranged for them to last a little later on Wednesday to accommodate more parents' schedules. The teachers discussed grades, reading programs, testing results for 2013, behavior and goals for this year, with the parents and students.The Kindergarten teachers had the students actually help with the SEP Conferences. They showed their parents the work they've been doing and explained what they've been learning.
Thanks to staff and students SEP Conferences were a great success this year.
