Our Halloween Costume Parade began here at Santaquin Elementary at 1:00pm on Wednesday, October 31st. Parents were welcome and came to join us in the gym and main entryway to watch as students and teachers “paraded” through the school. Clowns, witches, doctors, superheros, etc., marched in step, showing off their amazing costumes. Happy Halloween!
Each month Santaquin Elementary will post a new edition of our very own school newspaper, the Santaquin Sentinel. This publication will include: calendar items, review of important school events, guidance from our school counselor, and a special message from Mr. Argyle. Thank you to all members of our school community for your continued support of our learning.
On the evening of October 24th, 2012, the parking lot of Santaquin Elementary was full. Parents and second grade students were at the school for their second annual ‘Parents and Pumpkins’ Literacy Night.

It was the first day of Red Ribbon Week and we were told to wear red clothes and wear running shoes. Most of the students did. After the announcements, we all went out to the front of the school, on the grass by the first grade classrooms.

These dedicated readers were chosen to participate in our October 'Road to Success' Reading Celebration ... popcorn and a movie with Mr. Argyle! “The goal of the program is to encourage improvement in literacy which will help develop daily and lifelong reading habits, specifically by READING EVERY DAY at least 20 minutes, to improve vocabulary, proficiency, and communication skills” (Garff, 2012). Well done Santaquin Readers!
