Our first graders had a fabulous time at Rowley's Red Barn! Tractor wagons arrived at the school to take our students to the back forty of Rowley's orchards. Our students learned about the history of Rowley's four generations of farming and got to see videos of the tools and machinery used to keep an orchard up and running. Our first graders then got to play and explore. It was a beautiful fall day! We ended our field trip with a wagon ride back to school and delicious apple cider donuts! Thank you to Rowley's Red Barn for a fun filled afternoon!

Mrs. Tye's 4th Graders are starting their fossil unit, and what better way to start it off than by doing their own excavation! Students were paleontologists as they used their excavation tools to search for and clean off their dinosaur "fossils."

Mrs. Rindy had some lucky readers join her for “Lunch in the Library.”  Any students that read a book in September were entered into a drawing, and the lucky winners got to eat in the library and play corn hole with the librarian herself. They had so much fun! Keep Reading, Santaquin!  #santaquinelementary #neboschooldistrict #focusonstudents #readers #theclimb #lunchinthelibrary #cornhole
