Mrs. Norton received the Crystal Apple Award this year. This special award is given to an outstanding teacher, and is voted on by the faculty of our school. Mrs. Norton received this award because of her kindness and her willingness to help those around her, whether it's another teacher that needs help, or the students who are entrusted into her care. She has a way of creating special connections with her students, and it is very evident. She definitely deserves this recognition, and we are all so glad she is a teacher at our school. Congratulations Mrs. Norton!

After break Mrs. Norton's class talked about personal goals, resolutions and things they could do to help others. Then they took the idea of helping others and turned it into a form of poetry by writing “If I Were A Gift”. Students choose a gift they would like to give and in the first stanza they define their gift. In the second stanza they say how their gift could help someone close to them and in the last stanza they say how their gift could help the world.

Mrs. Hammond is one of our Title-1 Technicians and has worked at our school for 21 years, working with students in our reading program.

Nebo School District in partnership with Spanish Fork City presents a virtual Love and Logic Parenting Workshop.

“There's a lot of advice out there on how to raise your kids – some better than others. ‘Love and Logic’ is a favorite of therapists, family life educators, teachers, principals, and most importantly parents. It is practical, easy to learn, and really effective! Come and enjoy this fun, upbeat, and informative workshop full of useful tips!” – Jonathan Sherman, LMFT, Family Therapist and Parent Educator

This month, the 3rd grade's art is being displayed in our art gallery. Both Mrs. Barber's and Ms. Adams' classes learned to use oil pastels on black construction paper, and mixed that with watercolors to make beautiful Christmas tree bulbs using this technique.

A scientist from Discovery Gateway came and visited with our 5th graders last week. She presented their "Reaction Time" program to them, and taught them about chemistry. The students were able to perform their own experiments in some hands on activities. It was a great review of their science unit on Matter from the first of the year. We would like to thank Discovery Gateway for coming all the way to Goshen to present to our students!
