Sixth-grade student, Nikki Mortensen, had surgery on her foot and couldn't go outside to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and play in the snow, so her teacher brought a little of the outside, inside.

Nikki was able to build a snowman in the classroom!!

Readers from the second grade gave the sixth-graders a treat Friday afternoon as they performed a reader's theater complete with scenery.  The second grade students have worked hard on their parts during reteach and enrich time. 

Several students from Payson Junior High were back in our school today reliving the best time of their lives!  This time they were here to learn what goes on behind the scenes as they "job-shadowed" many of the employees here.  Student reporters Joseph Jacklin and Elli Crook took a walk around the building to take a peek at what our past students were doing today. 

This year's Kindergarten Parent Literacy Night at Santaquin Elementary was a huge hit!!  The Kindergarten teachers worked hard to provide families with tons of strategies and ideas to help the children learn to read.  Students went home with books, comprehension cubes, retelling storyboards, and fluency tools to help them become On-the-Spot readers.  We all learned about the new Raz-Kids online leveled library tool where each child has their very own library of books selected especially for them.  Santaquin Kindergarten students LOVE to read!
