Optional Dollar Dress Down Tomorrow

Posted on by
Reply

Two of our Quest employees, Mrs. McBride and Miranda McBride, have been accepted as mentors into Youthlinc, a Utah-based nonprofit organization that organizes local and international service projects for youth. They are planning an international service project to a small village in Nepal for two weeks next July. They will be assisting high school aged students in serving a community in need.

These students will be assisting the village of Suntakhan in rebuilding structures that still remain damaged from the earthquake that struck the area in 2015, including remodeling an orphanage. They will also be helping the villagers with business development, personal hygiene, sustainability, and English lessons all while learning of their culture and traditions.

To help them in their efforts, POQA agreed to sponsor an optional dollar dress down day this Friday (March 9). Students who would like to donate can dress down for a dollar. Students who do not wish to participate are welcome to wear their uniforms. Individuals who would like to donate more than a dollar can donate by clicking below: https://youthlinc.z2systems.com/np/clients/youthlinc/campaign.jsp?campaign=8&fundraiser=16144& (a cash donation in the front office would also be okay). The people of Suntakhan would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Planetarium Field Trip Tomorrow!!

Reply

We will meet at the Roy Frontrunner Station (Sandridge Station on 4000 S) no later than 8:15 that morning. We will be unable to wait for those who are not in attendance.  We will take the Frontrunner Train to Salt Lake, and then board the Trax Train and ride to the Gateway, where the planetarium is located.  We will arrive back to the Frontrunner Station, in Roy, at 2:45 and need you to pick up your child BEFORE you pickup other siblings at Quest.

Please make sure that students have a lunch, that does not require a microwave.  Their backpacks will also serve as the storage place for their lunches and coats throughout the day.  We are also asking that the children and the volunteers NOT purchase refreshments or souvenirs at the planetarium. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather the day of the field trip.
