There was a feast to be had at Santaquin Elementary on Tuesday, November 20th. The students of Ms. Harker and Ms. Craig enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner as part of their celebrations. They dined on homemade weaved place-mats and enjoyed a turkey dinner complete with mashed potatoes, stuffing, salads, sweet potatoes, and ... pumpkin pie! Happy Thanksgiving!

Ballet West came to Santaquin and performed some dances from the Nutcracker for the students.
The dancers showed the studentbody how they warmed up before dancing and explained what it took to be a professional dancer.
Several students from the audience were picked to go on stage and try a spin with the dancers. We think our students did a great job. It's harder to do than it looked!!
The dancers told the story of the Nutcracker Prince, and it was fun to see the costumes and a few of the dances that they will perform in the real show.
Mrs. Rawle has a Halloween Birthday. This year she found out that a sixth-grade student, McKenna Brailsford ALSO has an Oct 31st Birthday.
Mrs. Rawle's sixth-grade class "took a wrong turn" during the parade and hurried back to class to surprise her by decorating the room.
