PTA Presents Check to Spanish Oaks for Technology

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

Our amazing PTA presented a check for $2,000.00 to our school to be used to purchase technology.  The funds came from our school carnival, which has become a looked-forward-to activity each Spring.  The carnival is a ton of work, and we would like to thank our amazing PTA members who work so hard all year long to make it a success.  We are also so grateful for how they spoil us as faculty and staff with dinners, birthday wishes, treats, etc.  A sincere thanks to all of you!

Nicole Cutshall kicked off our last school assembly by making a few remarks on UDOT SNAP and presenting our school a check for $150.00, a plaque and a banner designating our school as the Top Walking and Biking School!  We are so pleased and want to thank the students who participated and made this possible.  Kendahl Mendez and Kaden Kolste each won a scooter and a helmet as part of the celebration.  We also gave away our last bike of the year to Zephyr Elliot.  Congrats, everyone!

2nd Grade Invention Convention

Submitted by lindsay.robison on

One thing I personally look forward to every year is the 2nd grade Invention Convention.  Students get to make their own inventions whether it be a life hack to make life easier or a cool game they created.  Then classes sign up to come see all of the inventions.  I was very impressed with the inventions the 2nd graders came up with.  Way to go 2nd grade!
