Submitted by stacey.holmes on

4th graders wore themselves out on their field trip Thursday.  They had an amazing time at the Hutchings Museum where they learned about Utah History, Native Americans, Rocks and Minerals, Fossils, and enjoyed a live bird show.  Then they went to Discovery Park in Pleasant Grove to eat lunch and play on the playground.  It was educational and a lot of FUN!!!

We will be spotlighting a Student of the Week from each classroom. These students receive a certificate and prize from Mrs. Peery with the chance to be drawn out at the end of each month for a special activity with the Principal. The focus for the month of September is "Cooperation".  The students are selected by their teachers as they see their ability to cooperate here at school.  Here are the Students of the Week for September 25.
