Lindsey Downey, our wonderful librarian, was named Classified Employee of the Year this morning in our faculty meeting. Let's get to know her a little better . . . Mrs. Downey is from Spanish Fork and is married to her high school sweetheart. She has two children and is a huge Utah UTE fan. Lindsey loves to cook, go camping and sew. She is very creative and organized, and grows a mean garden! She makes learning fun and the students LOVE HER, as do all of us here at Spanish Oaks. Congratulations Mrs. Downey!
Miss Babcock taught her students about chemical and physical changes, then the students tried a variety of experiments to check it out.

They are covering a variety of science concepts, such as "forces in motion". Empty toilet paper rolls came in handy as the students designed and created cars to analyze and adjust before doing the final race. Keep up the great work, students, and thanks to Miss Babcock for her time and effort.
