The Challenge is On ... BOOK IT! asked principals across the country to take the Principal Challenge and commit to read one entire school day - from the first bell to the last - during National Young Readers Week, November 10-14!
All principals who completed the challenge posted a snapshot of their day and entered for a chance to win 101 copies of Jeff Kinney's ninth book, The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, for their school.
We had the amazing opportunity of having our very own Spanish Fork Veterans join us for a Veterans Day Assemby as we showed our love and appreciation for those in the service everywhere who have fought for the freedom of our country. It was extra special to have Maren Christensen, one of our own staff, play "Taps" as the flag was retired, as well as our school choir singing The National Anthem.
Congratulations to Mrs. Bellomy's third grade class for having the most drops in their class bucket for the month of October! They got to celebrate with Mrs. Brown, who provided root beer floats. Keep up the great work!
Thanks to all the students who participated this year in our Reflections program! We had creative entries that showed a lot of time and effort put into them. Congratulations as well to our winners, and best of luck to those moving on to the next level of competition. A special thanks to Laurie Dallon and our PTA for all their hard work and dedication to making this progam successful!
