Mrs. Blanchard directed our 5th grade friends (Pictured here: Saine and Potter crews) in a musical entitled "The Incredible Westward Movement".

The students all sang, danced, and acted in a story about manifest destiny, the Louisiana Purchase, the Trail of Tears, and going west. They all did a great job!

These saboteurs aren't messing around! The 6/8 pod is now in first place!

It seems that the 3/5 pod has experienced some sabotage!

Here are the current standings!

We're holding a PENNY WAR fundraiser! Contribute pennies or cash to earn positive points for your pod and put dimes, nickels, and quarters in a rival pod's container to earn them negative points!

Our 1st and 2nd graders spent the morning learning about different responsibilities in the Weber County Sheriff's department. We met a K9 named Toro, saw how police drones work, learned about motorcycle and bicycle officers, sat inside a real life SWAT armored vehicle, and were blown away (almost literally!) by the fan of an airboat. We are so thankful for our community helpers who came and visited with us today!

We want to recognize two students: M.W. and A.H. acted with integrity today when they (separately) found a stray dollar bill and turned it in. Integrity is a and we certainly value these two students who displayed it today. ❤

Popcorn Friday was a success! These 1st and 2nd graders had a chat while snacking.

The 3/5 pod ended their day with some water games. They begged Mr. Jason (the facilities manager) to spray them with the hose & he obliged. Our deepest apologies to all the parents who now have wet seats in their car! The kids had a blast.

The middle schoolers spent some time in the sunshine decorating Venture with chalk art!

The students earned a movie day as a reward during our Penny Wars fundraiser. We're watching Sing 2!

Penny Wars is over! The K2 pod contributed the most by bringing in $756.87!! Thank you to everyone who participated!
