Reading Celebration with Mrs. Brown

Submitted by sherri.peterson on Wed, 12/20/2017 - 09:39

We had some elaborately decorated Christmas trees once our reading reward winners finished with Mrs. Brown yesterday.  The students had a great time and actually got a little bit of frosting and candy on the trees (the rest ended up in mouths).  A special thanks to Aubrey Smith for her hard work and creativity in putting this activity together!  Keep on reading, students!

Orchestra Lunchtime Serenade

Submitted by kali.brown on Tue, 12/19/2017 - 17:16

Students, faculty and staff were treated to a special lunchtime performance by our amazing 6th grade orchestra, directed by Russell Hansen and accompanied by Laurie Dallin.  Students enjoyed chicken nuggets and taco soup while "visions" of Jingle Bells and Here Comes Santa Claus played in the background.  Our orchestra students have been working all year long to master their instruments, and their efforts were well received by their audience of hungry students.  Thank you, musicians, for sharing your talents ...

Spanish Oaks Explore the Arts for Christmas

Our student-body enjoyed watching our Dance EXTRA students perform folk dances from different countries.   Some of the audience even got to join in and give the dances a try.  A big thanks to Mr. Crockett for his time and hard work.

Today we also enjoyed our school orchestra, who serenaded the student-body while they ate lunch.  They did a great job!  Thank you to Mr. Hansen for the great job he does with our sixth graders.

"Thank you all so much for coming to the concert last evening and filling the seats.  It was marvelous to see that much familial support and lots of friendly faces.  Your kids did a fantastic job at demonstrating what they have learned to this point.  I’m very pleased with how they performed.  I hope that you all enjoyed your time listening to them.

I thoroughly enjoy working with your kids.  They have been fantastic so far.  Thank you all for encouraging them in developing this talent."

Spanish Oaks Excellent Explorer Award Winners

We are so excited to present our Excellent Explorer Award winners for this quarter.  Get to know and love them like we do!

Kasey Glazier: "During our math class one of the students became upset because they were not able to finish their fast facts.  Kasey went out to the hall to help the other student practice their flash cards rather than play a game and work on his own fast facts."
