The students at Spanish Oaks were excited to welcome the Just Jumpin' jump rope team to kick-off our "Jump Start Reading" reading program for the 2015-2016 school year. "The best investment we can make in our community is to ensure that our children can read, and the Road to Success program is an effective way to make that investment." Our reading goal this year is to read 2,500,000 minutes as a school. Jump to it, Explorers ... Let's get reading!
Today Mrs. Robinson's and Miss Mellor's class got to swim and catch sharks with Mrs. Burr. The kids had a fun time practicing making the "S" sound.
We have a new contest going on at our school. Any grade level that can get 100% of their students on time to school 10 days in a row earns a doughnut celebration with Mrs. Brown. We are off to a great start! Rise and shine, everyone!
Our 3rd graders are so excited that they received their new third grade t-shirts. The shirts were designed by Josh Anderson, a student in Mrs. Bellomy's class. Lookin' good!
Second graders in Mrs. Graham's class are so excited to get to send their "Flat Stanley" dolls around the state, country, and maybe even world! They can't wait to hear back about the many adventures they will have!
Our Maple Mountain football players give back to their community as they learn that they are role models to younger students. We would like them to continue to come to our school and read with our students. Thank you, football team!
Megann McKendrick is our new first grade teacher this year at Spanish Oaks! She is doing a fabulous job!
Megann grew up in Highland and graduated from American Fork High School. She recently returned from Indiana where she spent the past 18 months. She loves soccer, racquetball and especially basketball. She was even on a state champion basketball team! She likes doing things with her 5 siblings outdoors. She has a strong desire to help the world, one person at a time, and hopes to start fulfilling that goal in her first grade classroom.
