We are doing a math lesson tomorrow on picture graphs and pictographs with graham crackers tomorrow. Please let me know if your child can not eat them after the lesson. Thanks!
This year Quest wanted to provide our students with additional learning opportunities by providing clubs and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities. We unfortunately did not have unlimited funds and were limited with the number of students who could participate. In the future, we would like to offer additional club opportunities for everyone to enjoy. POQA has taken on the task of raising money and has chosen not to sell cookie dough or gift wrap but to provide an opportunity to showcase what our students have done at a dinner event and silent auction.
Basket Fundraiser (in support of STEM activities for our students)
•Each grade has provided a theme basket with gifts, treats, gift cards, etc. Baskets can be viewed in the Q1 foyer.
•Anyone can purchase ticket(s) Ticket prices $1=1 ticket & a sticker $5=6 tickets & a pencil $10=15 tickets & a ball
•Tickets can then be placed in the bucket that coordinates with the basket of their choice
•The evening of the Gala, a ticket from each basket will be drawn and the basket will be awarded to the ticket holder (need not be present to win).
Gala tickets are on sale again this week,before and after school, in the foyer of Q1. If you are unable to purchase tickets at that time, please email lblakely@questac.org with your name and phone number and we will contact you to make arrangements.
Don’t forget the rest of Dr. Seuss week.

Be sure to stop by the library to guess how many fish in the dish and tell us your favorite Dr. Seuss book too!
3rd Grade is in charge of making a basket to auction. We have chosen to do a sports theme, i.e. Jazz, Utah, BYU, etc. Donations would be welcome! We have a 3rd grade parent who will be putting the basket together. Donations can be brought in starting today. Thanks!!
Our field trip is a week away! I have most permission slips back, but I am missing a few. Please get it back to me as soon as possible. So far I only have four parents that are signed up to go along with us. I would feel more comfortable having a few more. When we travel on the Front Runner I prefer smaller groups so that everyone is kept just a little bit closer. If you are available to come along as a chaperone please let me know. The fee is only $6 (for the movie at the planetarium) this time and it can be paid to the office. We will cover your Front Runner ticket.
If your child would like to participate in the running club this information is for you . It will start on Wednesday, March 2 and will be from 3:15-4:15in the Q1 gym. The cost will be $25 and this will include a Quest Running Club t-shirt as well as the 5K entry fee. We will be doing a 5K on Saturday, May 7 at 8 AM at Shadow Valley Elementary. Your child will get a shirt for running the 5K as well.
Please let me know if your child is able to participate so that we can get a final count and allow more kids the opportunity if we have enough space.
Thank you for signing up for Quest Clubs. Following, you will find the club that your child’s name was drawn to be in. We apoligize for the short notice, but with the long weekend, we just realized we need to start clubs tommorrow, in order to be done by Spring Break. We are happy to announce that every student that signed up was able to get either their first or second choice of the clubs. Thank you again for being understanding about the short notice. Please note, the Running Club will not be starting until sometime in early March. We will send home the information about it when it becomes available. We will tell your child which teacher they are assigned on Tuesday after school. There are still some spots avaliable in the chimes clubs if more students want to join.
