On Thursday morning, August 23rd, students and faculty participated in our 'kick off' Safe School Assembly. We were reminded of school-wide expectations, such as: what appropriate behavior looks like, safety always comes first, respect for ourselves and others, etc. We are so grateful to have a beautiful school building to come to each day where we know we are safe and able to learn. We each make the difference at Santaquin Elementary!
The 5th grade teachers at Santaquin Elementary, joined by members of the Adminsitrative Team, treated the fifth grade students to an original portrayal of the classic 'Little Red Riding Hood' in their literary introduction to Readers' Theater. The students cheered wildly as the Wolf, played by Mr. Kern, 'dismissed' the grandmother, portrayed by our very own Principal Argyle (in full costume). To everyone's great relief, the reading concluded with a rousing game of baseball! Thank you, Fifth Grade Teachers, for making literature come alive for our students!
Monday, August 20th, found students and parents at Santaquin Elementary exploring classrooms and meeting new teachers at our annual Open House. Everyone is very excited for another amazing school year. Good luck and happy learning!
The students at Santaquin Elementary read over 90,000 days this year!! At the beginning of the year Mr. Argyle committed to run one foot for every day they read. Although 18 miles would have met his commitment, Mr. Argyle ran an additional 8.2 miles to show the students that they can always ‘go the extra mile’ by reading one more book or five more minutes. Congratulations to all the students and to Mr. Argyle!!!
Santaquin’s last ‘It Pays to Read’ assembly was held this month. Sammy Falcon and Katelyn Reeves won bikes and Gage Stilson and Scott Nichols won a $50 Scholarship. Congratulations!!! Remember to READ EVERY DAY THIS SUMMER!!!
Family, friends, colleagues, and former students who would like to celebrate with Mrs. Brost are welcome and invited to attend an open house at Santaquin Elementary on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 from 2:30-4:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served.
