Hello Park Panthers!

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.  

BYU Kinnect Dancers visited Park Elementary and presented a program about Heros.  Kinnect is a student outreach performance dance company with a specific focus on developing teaching, creative, and performing skills in its members. This group is carefully selected, prepared, and mentored in order to effectively teach dance as a creative process to elementary- and middle-school-age children, following the U.S. National Dance Standards and the Utah State Dance Core Curriculum.

The third grade students enjoyed a field trip to the Clark Planterium in Salt Lake City.  They had a fun time exploring the exhibits.  They learned a lot about the planets, stars, and other heavenly bodies.  The students really loved watching a movie on the Dome Theatre.  

Mrs. Sorensens class had a Reading Superbowl. Every night the students would read and then have thier parent sign the football saying how many minutes their child read. 

The class was divided into two teams the 49er's and the Ravens.  Which ever team read the most minutes the night before would get a touchdown for that day.  The 49er's won the class challenge by 1 touchdown.  Anyone who participated received a superbowl "ring" and the 49er's had a party for being the winning team.

A theater class from UVU came to Park Elementary and presented a play called Honk! Honk! is a musical adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen story The Ugly Duckling, incorporating a message of tolerance and self-esteem.  The musical is set in the countryside and features Ugly, a duckling who is rejected by everyone but his mother, Ida; a sly tomcat who wants to eat Ugly; and other barnyard creatures.
