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

50's Day in Kindergarten at Spanish Oaks

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

We had a great time in Kindergarten celebrating our 50th day of school.  Everybody looked great dressed up in 50's style clothing. We did many counting activities, learned about some games, toys and music from the era, had root beer floats and ended the day doing a dance party.  Students learned The Twist, the Hand Jive and the Dishrag. We have loved all 50 days of school so far, and can't wait to learn more!
