White Ribbon week was a great success this year, thanks to Jen Brown from Park Elementary's PTA.  White Ribbon Week teaches students the importance of Internet safety and to make smart decisions while online.

Mrs. Kimball’s 2nd grade class reached one of their WIGs (Wildly Important Goals) on Friday, January 24, by earning their 50th “excellent” from specialist teachers!  They held a victory celebration the same day, which included pizza and an exciting dance party.  The students enjoyed learning and enthusiastically doing the following dances:  The Bunny Hop, The Chicken, and The Twist.  What great dancers!  Congratulations to the students on their achievement!

Faculty and staff gathered together around a quilt to support Mrs. Farrer during this difficult time in her life.  The quilt is tied together with messages and words of encouragement from Park faculty and staff.  

Our hearts go out to Mrs. Farrer and her family.  Thank You Mrs. Farrer for your love and devotion to the students of Park Elementary!

Fifth and sixth grade students enjoyed a brief assembly on how to make the science fair enjoyable. Mrs. Luke's daughter Ashley Luke (7th grader at Spanish Fork Jr. high) and niece Chloe Randall (7th grader at freedom academy) spoke to the kids about their experiences with the science fair. Chloe brought her project to display and explained to the group what she did for the project. They explained how important it is to pick a topic that they are really interested in.
