Story Telling Festival Field Trip

On Monday, February 25th, the 5th grade will be attending the Weber State Story Telling Festival. The festival will be held at the Perry Egyptian Theater in Ogden.  A bus will be taking us to and from the event.  Students will be attending the 9:30 and 10:30 sessions.  The buses will be leaving the school promptly at 8:45 and will be back to the school for lunch, so there is no need to pack any food.  The festival will allow students to understand how to add expression and emphasis to their reading.  Please sign the form below letting me know if your student is allowed to attend.

Parents,
I want to thank everyone who attended parent-teacher conference last week. I appreciate your time and effort in meeting with me. We are all working toward the same result – a positive and successful school year for your child! 

Screen Shot 2018-01-21 at 5.42.54 PMThis week marks the 1,000th day of school for fifth-graders. One of the ways we will be celebrating is with a kindness challenge. Our goal is to reach 1,000 acts of kindness by the end of the week. We encourage students to participate in this challenge to help make a positive difference in their community, reduce bullying, and learn the importance of treating one another with respect. Students will record their acts of kindness on a poster in the hallway outside of our classroom.
