Pay It Forward: Cheyanne Prather, Spanish Oaks Second Grader

Submitted by kali.brown on

Spanish Oaks very own Cheyanne Prather wanted to help clothe homeless children, so she came up with a great way to use her allowance.  She bought candy and snacks, then sold them on the side of the road and at football games.  She then took the money to buy more snacks and continued to sell.

What started as $40 ... turned into more than $500 as 7-year-old Cheyanne expanded her entrepreneur skills to help others.  She is this week’s Channel 2 News Pay It Forward recipient.  Thank you, Cheyanne, for being such a good example!

We were entertained by our choir this week as they shared some well-loved and some not-so-familiar Christmas songs with our student body. They did an excellent job! Thanks to our choir teachers for all their time and effort to make this a great performance! Good luck in performing for your parents this evening!

We were honored to hear our Spanish Oaks orchestra perform for us this morning in a school wide assembly.  They spread the feeling of Christmas as we heard Christmas songs from around the world.  A special thanks for the time and effort put in by both the orchestra members and our orchestra teacher, Mr. Hansen.  Well done!

Special Visitor in Third Grade at Spanish Oaks

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

After reading and studying about what a K-9 Officer does, the 3rd grade got to hear and learn from Officer Cory Grover and his K-9, Lorde.  Students got to learn about how Lorde was trained, and the many hours it takes to get a dog ready to become a police dog.  They were very excited to watch Lorde in action as he used his skills to find hidden objects ... even on top of the piano!
