Spring picture day is coming up on March 1st!

The fourth grade had guest teachers from the students at Spanish Fork High School. These students are taking the Teaching as a Profession class! They taught a social studies lesson on mountain men, the fur trade and the part that they played in Utah's past! They did a great job!!

Diamond Fork Middle School orchestra, band, and choir came to perform for our fifth graders. Our fifth graders got to get a sneak peek into what they can participate in next year! They were invited to an instrument “petting zoo” that night to try out different instruments. It was fun seeing our previous Park Panthers in the groups.

4th week in a row! Congratulations to Mrs. Pearson's class on another spirit win this week. Her class rocked it today and Parker gets to stay with them another week!

There will be no school on Monday, February 20 for the President's Day holiday. Enjoy your long weekend and we will see you next Tuesday!

Hello Park Elementary Parents,

I am excited to share some changes that will be happening in our Preschool program next year. In the past, all screenings have been done at the Summit Center and decisions have been made at the district level. We will be changing that next year and placement will be made at the school level. 

What this means to you:

We had five projects compete at the district science fair and all of our students did amazing! Every single project is going on to the Central Utah Science Fair at BYU next month. These kids showed that being proactive and learning something new can be fun. Good luck at the next science fair. 

The fifth grade classes participated in their very own Super Bowl the past two weeks. Students were drafted onto teams and asked to read each night. They delivered!!! They read tens of thousands of minutes together in the two weeks. We sure are proud of these kiddos. Keep reading!
Fun Fact: The Chiefs won in both fifth grade classrooms … what a way to predict the Superbowl game!

Ms. Webster’s class showed their creativity but creating pop tart valentine houses!
