The Spanish Fork High School Football Captains visited Park Elementary School to inspire school spirit.  Captains: Nate Russell, Isaac Asiata, Travis Still, P.J. Inoke, Hayden Nielsen and Sean Leifson visited our school during a lunch recess and signed autographs.  They talked with the students about staying healthy, exercising, and being good sports.  Students enjoyed running after a few long passes and punts.

Park Elementary School is running , biking, skateboarding, walking and more, to be a Gold Medal Mile School!  The Park PTA launched the Gold Medal mile program at an assembly on Friday, September 17, 2010.  The students, their families and teachers will be walking around the USA as they log their miles throughout the year.  Paper airplanes filled the air, as they were caught, those students were asked to unfold their airplane to discover a U.S.

Great Books, good stories, great company and a doughnut too!

Thank you PTA, for providing us this reading oppurtunity.

The Utah Symphony through the Professional Outreach Programs in the Schools (POPS), were able to once again visit our District and perform a concert for the 4th grade students.  The performance was held at Maple Mountain High School this year.  Our Park Fourth grade students looked fabulous as they boarded the bus all decked out in their finest clothes ready to hear Musical Magic: Stories Come to Life.  The symphony was conducted by David Cho.  The students heard music from a Harry Potter movie, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Sorcere

The Park Elementary sixth grade classes visited the Viet Nam Moving Wall at the Spanish Fork Cemetery on Monday, September 13, 2010.  The students were awed by the number of men and women, 58,000, who died trying to preserve freedom.  Andrew Stamm found the name of his great-uncle on the wall.

Birds were swooping over the students heads on Wednesday, April 14,2010.  Mr. Jason Jones brought some birds of prey to Park School to teach us about these beautiful birds.   He discussed with the students what kinds of adaptations these birds have compared with other birds.  Some of the birds the students were able to see were: a great horned owl, a peregrine falcon, a Harris hawk, a Merlin hawk and a very young Lanner falcon.  Thanks to Mr. Jones for sharing his love for these amazing birds with us!
