The second-grade field trip was great! They learned all about life on the farm and then visited a park!

“Emily has a positive attitude and willingness to serve. She is respectful and interested in collaboration. Emily is extremely devoted to her students and works tirelessly to build lasting bonds with each child.”

We are so lucky to work with Emily, and our students are in such good hands in her classroom!  Emily is one of those faculty members that are easy to work with, that steps in to help when there is a problem, and is always pleasant and positive.  We love her!  Congratulations, Emily!

Mrs. Quinton, 5th grade teacher, has been selected to receive the Utah PTA Outstanding Educator Award from the Region 10 PTA.  Region 10 is composed of Nebo and Provo school districts, and we are so thrilled to be able to recognize her!  We are all so impressed with everything she contributes to Spanish Oaks Elementary, and totally agree that she exemplifies everything that this award stands for.  Gabi was honored at an Awards Luncheon yesterday.    We love you, Mrs. Quinton!

The following students have been chosen for the Kiwanis Award for this year.  They are each amazing students that have put forth extra effort to be thoughtful of others, do well in their school work, and be a friend to everyone.  Our students are Berkley Devenish, Haden Grotegut, Jayce Mills, Bryce Smith, Kinsley Stumpe and Lucy Theodosis.  Congratulations, students!!

These fifth grade students were selected to attend the Regional Science Fair at BYU.  They did a great job, and we even had 6 who won medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.  

Our Kindergarten students did a fabulous job with their Kindy program and parade this morning.  Their singing was so cute, and touched everyone's heart when they sang "I'm Proud to be an American."  Each student, with the help of their parents, created a car to travel around the "United States" and learn about our State and National symbols.  We want to thank everyone who has helped with this fun day, especially the volunteers who came and spent their morning teaching the students about our history.

Just a reminder that Spring Break is next week April 4-8 and the school will be closed. Enjoy your break!

Our rodeo friends came to challenge us to "Read More" today.  They shared what events you can see at the rodeo, and then held some "events" for our students and teachers.  We had some great ropers, and the students won the barrel racing, but that could have been because the "barrels" for the teachers kept moving ;)  Students, get those books out and let's get reading!

Our first grade students did an amazing job in their Community Helpers program this morning.  We got to learn all about how our community works together to make it a great place to live.  A huge shout out to the teachers and students for a job well done!

We have a great bunch of students that were chosen by their teachers to sign Mr. Murray's Smile Shirt this week.  Nice job, students!
