Mr. Mecham, Mrs. Greer, Mr. Griffith, and Mrs. Rawle applied for a grant through the Nebo Education Foundation.  On Thursday they received a special visit from the board members with a check of $2,000.  This money will go towards the purchase of chromebooks for each of the 6th grade classes.  This was a great honor to be chosen for this grant.

The coat rack by the lunch room is filling up with coats, jackets, gloves and hats.  If you notice a clothing item that belongs in your home, you are welcome to come pick it up.

The Intervention Specialists at Santaquin Elementary are trained in the University of Utah Reading Clinic programs, as well as Nebo Plus.  They are able to help basic readers, as well as struggling older readers, with fluency and word recognition through a consistent one-on-one tutoring program or through a group of three or four student tutoring.  With the help of teacher, guardians, and the intervention program, there has been a continuous improvement with the students reading on-grade level.
