Park Student Council Plants a Tree

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The Student Council has been selling Smencils, scented pencils, and wood cut outs this school year. They were going to use the money to purchase student council t-shirts. They changed their minds about the t-shirts and decided to purchase a tree instead. There is only one tree in the green space of Park Elementary playground. The students decided they wanted a tree that would flower but not have fruit. They selected a flowering fruitless cherry tree. Each spring it will have pink blooms. Mrs. Cooper, the student council adviser, went to Doman Nursery in Springville.

Sixth Grade Orchestra students had their final concert on May 10.  They worked really hard under the direction of Ms. Kim Durfler, the Orchestra Teacher.  Park students and Larsen Elementary students combine to make our school Orchestra.  It was wonderful to hear how much their playing has improved over the school year.  Great Work!

Parents and community members visited Park Elementary for Leadership Day.  Visitors learned about the 7 Habits.  Students worked hard to explain and show how the 7 Havits have help Park Elementary School.  It was a great celebration of the leaders in each student and staff member!  A big thanks goes out to Mrs. Smith and the Lighthouse committee for all of their hard work.
