Utah County Search and Rescue Visit!

Submitted by samantha.jasperson on

The third graders in Mrs. Jasperson's literacy class had quite the surprise when a volunteer for Utah County Search and Rescue popped in to teach them a little bit about outdoor survival techniques. Mrs. Jasperson's literacy class has been reading the classic novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It's about a young boy who ends up in the Canadian wilderness due to some unfortunate circumstances. He is forced to learn how to survive. The students have been so interested in the boys survival that they wanted to hear real life stories of people who have also overcome wilderness hardships.

Bagels, bananas, oranges, Sunny D and chocolate milk were plated with care early this morning in preparation for our annual grandparents day! We love grandparents at Park View and we saw that Park View students love their grandparents too. Students had the opportunity to have some one on one time with their grandparents  and spoil them with a yummy breakfast. After breakfast the grandparents had the chance to return the favor and spoil their grandkids with books from the book fair! Smiles were had, tummies were filled and memories were made. We love Grandparents!
