5th Grade Walk for Life
This year the students of Spanish Fork elementary schools participated in the city's Walk For Life project ... Students were invited to bring the name of someone in their family who is (or was) a Veteran that they then represented in the Walk For Life. This name was placed on their "dog tags" for the day.

Yearly Reading Goal Met by Students at Spanish Oaks
Hooray! We met our yearly goal of 2.5 million minutes being read by our studentbody! Congratulations students, and hang on tight, Mrs. Brown! The students were given several options back in September of what they would like their reading reward to be if they met their goal. They chose to duct tape Mrs. Brown to the wall! So . . . today each child was given a long piece of duct tape that they used to keep Mrs. Brown "cocooned" to the wall. Once she was in place, the students were serenaded with Mrs.
Orchestra Final Concert
Thank you all for attending the concert last evening. Your kids were amazing. There were times in rehearsal where it just wasn’t happening. However, they pulled it through and performed every number the way I knew that they could. It was marvelous to be able to help them present that for you yesterday. I hope that you enjoyed the fruits of their labors.

Treasure Celebrations at Spanish Oaks
Every week teachers have been sending the name of someone in their class who has been a "treasure" that week. We have announced their name(s) on Friday morning and invited them to come to the office for a special "thank you"! Each weekly recipient added their personal quilt square to the “We Matter” quilt we have hanging outside the main office!! In each classroom the teachers kept track using our "coins" of all the times their students act in a treasured way ... At the end of the month teachers turned in these totals and the winning class earned a 'thank you' reward
