“Dia De Los Muertos” or “Day of the Dead” is a special holiday in which people choose to honor their dead loved ones by celebrating their lives. It is celebrated in Mexico and other countries of Latin America on November 1st and 2nd. On these days it is believed that our departed loved ones are able to come back and join the celebration. Dia De los Muertos is to celebrate the life that our loved ones lived, not to be sad that they are gone.  Throughout the day, 4th grade students learn about what this very special day means to a lot of people in their community. 

Halloween is a great time to be with children.  It is so fun to see what their costumes are.  Enloy the photos. 

The third grade students at Santaquin had the privelage of listening to "Uncle John" tell stories (he prefers to call them experiences) about his friend Jack the rabbit and his wife Jackie.  Listening to stories is always a pleasure and encourages us to use our imagination. Thank you Uncle John.  

Be careful in the library or you might get a spell cast on you.  Better yet, read how to cast a spell on someone else.  We love our librarian, Mrs. Rindy, and appreciate all she does to help our students get interested in a good book.
