The UEI teachers cooked up a yummy Thanksgiving feast for all the students in UEI.

The kindergarten performed songs of thanks for their grandparents.  After the program, the grandparents spent some time in the classroom listening to their grandchild read and making crafts together.

The kindergarten children also visit a retirement home, where they perform their songs of thanks.

Have you ever wondered what the Santaquin Elementary staff does to celebrate the holidays?  I will tell you.  They have a BLAST!

The staff joined to participate in a service project, eat yummy food, and play minute-to-win-it games directed by Mrs. Brandley.

The students gathered for the November reading assembly.  As they entered the gym, their excitement grew as they saw cones lined up in front of the basketball hoop with dollar amounts attached to each cone, books were scattered on the steps, and bikes lined the stage area.

Each month the students receive character education prevention lessons to help them develop a more positive character.  In October the students learned about being honest.  This month they focused on being a positive influence on others.

The teachers choose two students each month who are examples of the theme being taught.  Congratulations to the students awarded for being a positive influence on others.

On Wednesdays, the students in the fourth grade with no missing assignments get to participate in a fun activity.

Today's activity was a "secret mission".  The students built lasers in the hallway with red string and tape.  They each had an opportunity to go through the hallway and try out their skill at being a secret agent without getting caught.
