In our school library we have two bags where students and teachers can return library books. Last week our school librarian, Lindsey Downey, was awarded a drop box for returning books. We are so excited about this more organized way of returning books!
We are fortunate enough to get to do service for our peers at Spanish Oaks to get in the spirit of the holiday season. Here are some of the secret acts of service a few of the classes did at Spanish Oaks.

Foundation President, Dale Phelps, remarked, "It is a pleasure to receive the grant applications and see how remarkable the Nebo District teachers are. The Nebo Education Foundation facilitates these grant monies to help teachers realize their ideas and students' potential. As a foundation, we get to see a glimpse at how well our teachers are instructing our students. Our teachers are truly talented and utilize every penny. They do such a great job!" Congratulations to the following teachers that continue to inspire the minds of students ...
Merry Christmas to our fabulous librarian, Mrs. Downey. Thanks to amazing school support at our PTA Book Fair this fall, we were able to purchase a 'Book Drop Cabinet' for our school library. We are so grateful for everything Mrs. Downey does for our students and we hope the new Book Drop makes it easier for her as she manages books for over 500 kids.
The Christmas spirit is alive and well at Spanish Oaks this year. Music is a great way to celebrate, and we have had a variety. Our orchestra serenaded the student body this morning in the front hall. The fifth grade presented their recorder concert for their parents. They were amazing! And last but not least, we all had a great time in our school wide sing-along. Each grade level led the students in a Christmas song, then we enjoyed a slide show of some of the great activities we have enjoyed during the first half of the year.
There is no better way to get students thinking about the true meaning of Christmas than by serving others. The students have had such a fun time wearing their Secret Santa glasses and doing service for another class at our school. It is a great way to show others that you think they MATTER! Way to go Spanish Oaks!
One of the students' favorite Christmas traditions at our school is Mrs. Brown reading a holiday story to each class. This year Mrs. Brown shared a new Christmas book called, "Is it Christmas Yet?" and the students loved it! Thank you Mrs. Brown for reading to our students!
The 3rd Grade worked really hard to prepare for their Christmas Program. The students got to help write the play, and all the parts were recorded in advance. There was a lot of fun acting and singing. The program really helped get students into the holiday spirit by teaching that the true meaning of Christmas isn't about the presents you get, but it is about the people you get to spend the holiday with. Thank you 3rd grade for putting on such a cute program!
