On January 22, the 4th Grade held their second annual "Write Nite."  It was a huge success with about 80% of students and parents in attendance.  Information was given to parents about how to make reading and writing more fun at home.  Everyone  who came had a wonderful time and many prizes, books, and materials were given away.  To go along with our Utah history curriculum students performed pioneer dances and songs for their parents.  They did an amazing job!

We have great teachers at Santaquin Elementary.  Posted are the First Grade teachers and the Fifth Grade teachers.

“When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.”  ― William Glasser

The Fifth Graders showed off their talents Wednesday, January 15, at their Wax Musuem display.  They dressed up as historical characters and recited important information about their character.

Santaquin Sentinel, January 2014 

The Kindergarten students chugged around the school as the Polar Express.  They went all the way to the North Pole, where they watched some of The Polar Express movie, drank hot chocolate, and saw Santa. Santa gave each student the first gift of Christmas, a bell.

We had a special guest on Wednesday, December 18 - The Cat in the Hat!  He read Cat in the Hat to the students.

The week before Christmas break, the students gathered in the auditorium to sing Christmas carols.

The sixth grade students read with their second grade buddies.
