Mrs. Smith's class in 3rd grade has been learning about main characters. The students selected a book to read and then decorated a pumpkin to look like the main character.

Red Ribbon Week Schedule

Friday, October 23 - NO SCHOOL

Saturday October 24 - Carnival & Concert for Carter Sperry from 10 am - 2 pm at Santaquin Elementary.

Kindergarten students colored pictures to express their thanks to the Firefighters, EMT, and Police for their services.  In turn some of those people took time to show the kids what it is like to wear a firefighter's uniform, or to hold the water hose.  Mr. Argyle, our principal and a volunteer firefighter, showed the kids what tools are stored on a fire truck.  There was also a police officer there to explain the importance of 9-1-1 and other safety procedures.  The kids also got to see inside an ambulance and some of the equipment they use to help people.

The second grade went on a field trip to Harward Farms.  They learned about the importance of bees, and how animals provide food and clothing for us.

Walmart surprised our school with supplies for the students.  Thank you so much!
