May 2020

Please bring the following items back to SantaquinElementary.  Refer to the schedule below for your drop off/pick up time.

IMPORTANT YEARBOOK INFORMATION

Our school yearbooks have been delayed due to COVID-19.  We were hoping they would make it to the school in time to give out with the student bags, but are still in transit.  Instead, we will have a Yearbook pickup day.  We are sorry for the inconvenience but look forward to seeing you again.  

If you would still like to order a YEARBOOK, you may call the office at 801-754-3611 and pay online.

Thank you so much for all of your support throughout the year, especially through the At-Home learning period.  We love the students and can’t wait to see them again.

Want to get your groceries and earn money for Santaquin Elementary AT THE SAME TIME? There is one simple way to do just that!

"The Kroger Family of Companies is committed to community engagement, positive social impact and charitable giving at the national and local levels. Every community is unique, but our common goal is to partner with the neighborhoods we serve and help the people there live healthier lives.

One of the ways in which we do this is through our Smith’s Inspiring Donations. This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your Card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at Smith’s and swipe your Shopper’s Card." -SmithsFoodandDrug
