Rotary Club donation DSC_0393.jpgThe Rotary Club presented each 3rd grade student at Santaquin Elementary with their own dictionary. The students were thrilled that their individual names were printed inside. We appreciate the service the Rotary Club gives to our school and community.
Santaquin's Police Chief, Dennis Howard, and Dare Officer, Chris Johnson, were invited to Santaquin Elementary School to receive a donation of fleece blankets and scarves. The students tied the blankets and scarves to give to children in need at accidents or other emergencies. We appreciate the service Santaquin police give to our community.
Santaquin Elementary School students participated in the first ‘It Pays To Read’ assembly last week. The students have been keeping track of their minutes read and putting their reading slips in the school hopper. Mr. Argyle, the principal, chose names from the hopper for prizes and to shoot a basketball for money. Students also chose teachers to shoot for them. It was a fast-paced, fun activity to help motivate students to continue reading at home everyday.
The kindergarten students at Santaquin Elementary performed a Thanksgiving program for their Grandparents. The grandparents were invited to come to school and read with their grandchild then enjoyed listening to their program. They also performed for the residents of Latter-Day Assisted Living.

Ken Garff reading-Hunter and Kaitlyn.jpgThe students at Santaquin Elementary School are working hard on meeting their home reading goal of reading at least 20 minutes every night. Ken Garff has provided bicycles for the top students who read the most minutes for the year. Kaitlyn Orcutt, a 4th grader in Mr. Griffith’s class, and Hunter Nelson, a 5th grader in Mr. Bailey’s class were top readers for the school so far and earned the priviledge of delivering prizes to all the students in the school on the bikes while honking their horns in celebration! We are proud of all our students and how hard they are working to be better readers!!! Thanks so much to all the parents for helping your students remember to read!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!!
