Gratitude for Blankets

This year for our service month, some 5th and 4th grade classes helped to cut and tie blankets for patients at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The blankets help patients feel a little more at home and a lot more loved! Thanks to all who participated in any of the Service Month Activities! Many hands can bless many lives!

Santa's Secret Shop

Santa's secret helpers have been busy getting his secret shop ready for the PTA-hosted Santa's Secret Shop. Back by popular demand, the shop is all ready for students to shop today!

Students will have the opportunity to view the items for sale in the shop today and tomorrow, and the shop will be open after school until 3:30 each day (1:30 Friday).  Each student took an envelope home in order to collect money and gain approval from a parent or guardian. Then, at the shop, parent volunteers will help students shop with their own money for gifts for those listed on their envelopes.  There is also a wrapping center in the shop so that students may wrap their special gifts and keep them secret until Christmas. 

Any leftover money will be returned in the envelope.

Food Drive Success!

Thank you to all students who brought food for the food drive during our annual Month of Service! As you can see, we gathered lots of food to help those in need in our community this winter.

Service Month is Here!

If each child can collect donations of $25 or more, then we WILL reach our goal! Asking for simple donations allows us to retain 100% of the proceeds.
