FREE SUMMER MEALS

Before Easter, the art teacher, Mrs. Laursen, taught the students about Peter Carl Fabergé, a Russian jeweler best known for his Fabergé eggs.  Each student had an opportunity to make a unique Fabergé egg that fit his/her personality.  The eggs are currently displayed by the lunch room.

The 5th grade students gathered in the gym to test their knowledge against Mr. Goudy, Mr. Ekker, Mr. Argyle, and Officer Woodland.  Of course the teachers won.  A few minute-to-win-it games were played following the questions.

The 3rd grade boarded the buses first thing Thursday morning.  They sang and talked on the bus and soon arrived at PHS.  Each child had the opportunity to test their skill at running, throwing, or jumping. 

The 2nd grade took a field trip to the fire station where they learned about the responsibilities of firefighters and how the serve our community.

After, they walked to the park and enjoyed a picnic lunch.

Santaquin Sentinel May 2016

To celebrate Earth Day, 1st graders were taught the importance of cleaning the earth, recycling, the plant life cycle, and how plants and people help each other. They did art, made a book, planted a seed, and concluded with picking up garbage around Santaquin.

Angela, from the Natural History Museum of Utah, visits Mrs. Vernon's class.  She showed the class igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and crystals.

The "It Pays to Read" assembly was awesome this month.  Students are chosen to pick prizes off the stage.  Occasionally,  students are drawn, and select people to shoot baskets to help them win a prize.  Everyone who is selected wins a book.  The student can pick anyone, including themself, to shoot baskets.  There are five slots to fill.  Usually the kids just pick teachers.  This time, however; a couple of students picked their friends and also shot their own basket.  The kids did awesome, reaching a new time for making the baskets.
