Congratulations to Mrs. Leifson who is the recipient of the Crystal Apple Award. Mrs. Leifson was nominated by her peers for this honor. The following was said about Cheryl.
Cheryl constantly has dedicated herself to going above and beyond what has been required in order to ensure that all of her students are successful in mastering the curriculum as well as developing a love for learning and an understanding of leadership roles and responsibilities.
We are excited to kick off our Champions Challenge Reading Challenge. Several members of the Fiesta Days Rodeo committee along with Miss Rodeo Utah, McKenna Hales was on hand to not only teach students about the sport of rodeo but to offer up incentives to keep up with their good reading habits. They even got Mrs. Gardner to dress up as a rodeo clown and get in the barrel.
Book Buddies was a huge success and was very well attended this year. Thanks to all of the students and parents that braved the snow and joined us for a good book and a doughnut. We would like to send a special thank you to our PTO for sponsoring the event. Not only did they buy a dougnut for everyone that attended, they even gave a book to each student.
Don't forget our final Student Led Conference will be held Monday, February 27, 2017. We look forward to sharing the great progress that your student is making and setting goals for the final term of the year.
Teachers were reminiscing of their own Valentine Day parties as students exchanged cards and sweets. Thanks to all of our awesome parents that helped with class parties! You can tell by the looks on our students faces that they had a great time (the look on Mr. James face we are not so sure)
