Mrs. Smithee's 4th grade class held a Mt. Man Rendezvous on Feb. 12th.  They have been studying Utah Mt. Men in Social Studies this school year.  The students dressed up like Mt.

We want to thank  Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Palmer for helping us with the activity rotations, and to Mr. Elmer for cheering us on. We all had a skookum(good) time!
