Park View Bees Stay Drug Free

Submitted by joann.kirk on

Under the direction of Amber Gull, Park View held a memorable Red Ribbon Week to remind all students to stay drug free.  There were many exciting activiites throughout the week to remind students to stay away from drugs, alcohol and violence.  

On Friday, Justin Sauceda came to our school to dance the "dob step!"  Well, I’ll hand it to ya, it was wonderful!

Justin told the students, "To dance, you need strong muscles and lungs, so don’t take drugs.  I wouldn’t be able to dance if I took drugs!”

Submitted by jessie.olsen on

On Friday, October 5th the second graders at Park View Elementary went on a fun field trip. They went to Discovery Park for lunch and then to an equestrian farm. The activities at the farm were provided by Utah State University Agriculture in the Classroom and included seeing baby piglets, learning how seeds grow, and milking cows.

Students loved the field trip, as can be seen by their comments below:

"I like the bus.  I like the hills that we go down.  The bus is fun.  I like to open the windows.  I like wind blowing through my hair." --Zoey Spencer

Wednesday, October 3 was Walk to School Day at Park View Elementary. Students could choose between walking or riding their bikes and scooters. As they arrived, students were greeted at the door by the PTA who gave them a sticker that was good for an extra recess!

Walk to school day was a great opportunity to be more active. The weather was beautiful, and students loved having an extra recess as a reward.

On Saturday, Sept. 22 Park View Elementary held their annual Storytelling Festival. The event included face painting, food, bounce houses, relays, games and contests, prizes, and of course the baskets. Each basket was based on a book and consisted of items donated from each class. The baskets were then auctioned off as a fundraiser for the school. Many companies also donated items for the baskets, including Sweet Tooth Fairy, Anytime Fitness, Texas Roadhouse, and many more. The donations and ticket sales were able to raise about $3000 dollars for the school!

Park View Elementary has a principal that truly cares about each student. At the start of every new year, Mrs. Reynolds comes to each class to read, do an activity, and learn every student's name. She takes time out of her busy schedule to let the kids get to know her, and commands respect from the students while still being caring and fun. It's no surprise that the students and teachers at Park View love Mrs. Reynolds!
