The "Secret Service" was out in full force this month here at our school. Each class, decked out in our secret service glasses, did an act of service for another class. They were hoping not to be caught or recognized! It has spread cheer throughout the school, and has been a great learning opportunity for the givers. Great job, students and teachers!
Our Sing Around the Tree was interrupted by a special visitor dressed in red today, and he had treats for every student!! He then went around to each class to get a class picture. We found a few students in the halls that we couldn't miss, and the office staff was remembered. And don't forget our police officer either. He has been good as well! No one was caught on the naughty list here at Spanish Oaks!!
Spanish Oaks Fifth grade serenaded their parents on their recorders today. They worked hard throughout the first half of the year to learn their songs, and did a great job. They also had their Nova Graduation, where each child was spotlighted and received a t-shirt. A special thanks to our Nova Officer, Officer Leifson, for his help throughout the year.
Our third grade students helped us to celebrate Christmas today by sharing songs and dances from Christmas traditions around the world. They did an amazing job, and we are so proud of them. Thanks to the third grade teachers for all their hard work!!
Here are our great students that were chosen to sign Mr. Murray's shirt this week :)

Today we celebrated Veteran's Day here at Spanish Oaks Elementary. Local Spanish Fork Veterans helped our students realize that the freedoms we enjoy every day come at a price. Men and women, past and present, have sacrificed the luxuries of their homes and families to make our world a free place, a place where we have the right to live as we see fit. It was touching to see pictures of soldiers doing their duties, but also loving and protecting the children in the countries where they served. We had the opportunity to hear taps being played on a bugle as the flags we
