While the rest of the school was on a field trip to the BYU Basketball game, the first grade and kindergarten had the whole school to themselves. The first grade had a very fun and eventful day to say the least. We tried our best to make the day both educational and fun by teaching students what life was really like back in 1620.
Our Kindergarten students enjoyed a feast here at school before their Thanksgiving feast at home. Dressed as Native Americans, with a new Native American name to match, they enjoyed learning more about the first Thanksgiving.
Games, a feast, and lots of learning took place in the first grade on Tuesday as the students celebrated Thanksgiving in Miss McKendrick's class. What a fun day!
Congratulations to our fifth grade DARE graduates. They had a great graduation, with three of our students, Naomi Good, Grace Herbert and Jace Tilton, sharing their essays. A special thanks to our DARE officer, Officer Warner.
Our 5th grade students at Spanish Oaks Elementary ended their Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) training on Tuesday, November 24, with a graduation ceremony for parents, students and teachers. Officer Warner of the Spanish Fork Police department was our amazing instructor this year. During the course students learned skills to help them make wise choices throughout their lives. At the graduation three students were recognized for writing outstanding D.A.R.E. essays, and ALL celebrated being outstanding D.A.R.E. students.

Our Spanish Oaks students (grades 2nd-6th) could be found cheering for the BYU Lady Cougars at the basketball game today. The students were amazing and represented Spanish Oaks with respect and wonderfully appropriate behavior. Everyone had a great time ... and BYU totally won!! Thank you, BYU, for the awesome opportunity ... Go, Extraordiberries!
Students of Spanish Oaks have had the giving spirit. We collected 2,232 food items to donate to Tabitha's Way. That equals over 1,000 lbs of food! It's an average of between 3-4 items per student from the school. Awesome job, students! Thank you to our student council and Mr. Crockett for organizing this event ... and a special "thank you" to all who donated.
Mrs. Martin's second grade had the most "extraordiberries" for the month of October. They were treated to rootbeer floats with Mrs. Brown. Congratulations and keep up the extraordinary work, students!
