Check out these kids from Mrs. Marsh's second grade class! They made soil conservation practices using modeling clay. Science is so cool!

Before spring break the students in fifth grade had the awesome opportunity of participating in the ultimate egg launch! Student's had to prepare their rockets using two liter bottles and anything they could think of that might protect their precious egg. Mr. Broadbent said that wind conditions weren't ideal but overall the launch went well. Overall there were exactly 12 students in each fifth grade class that was able to protect their egg from destruction! This was such a cool science activity that these students will always remember. 

The TYE company from UVU came and performed “Charlotte’s Web” for us as our Term 3 reward activity. The show was fantastic! Several of our students and teachers were able to be a part of the production. Our students learned how theatre in the round works first hand!

Nine third grade students went head to head in the spelling bee on Monday. It was an intense competition, you could cut the tension with a knife! Mrs. Walker said "This was the best third grade spelling bee I've been apart of. They are all really good spellers!" The spelling bee went for almost an entire hour, only getting down to the top three the last five minutes. These kids worked extra hard and proved that studying and determination pays off. Good job third graders, you all did very, very well! 

Last week, as part of our Look to the Future: College and Career Readiness Week, students had the incredible opportunity to participate in a type of service project. Ms. Salem asked for our help in her Soles For Souls Shoe Drive. Students were asked to bring in any extra pairs of shoes that they had laying around the house. They could donate any size shoe as long as they were in good condition. The Soles for Souls organization is non-profit, they take the shoes that were donated, clean them up so they look like new and take them to less fortunate cities and countries.
