April 2013

Friday is our Walkathon.  Our goal is to raise $4,000.

The course lap will be ¼ mile long.  The walking time will be 1 ½ hours; grades K-3rd from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m., grades 4th – 6th from 1:00-2:30 p.m.  Families can come “set up camp” on the grass field and on locations along the course.  Plan to bring folding chairs or a blanket or your walking shoes, depending on if you want to walk with us or watch.  No bicycles or pets. 

Mt. Loafer students want to show that they believe in being physically fit and living a healthy lifestyle!  In preparation for our upcoming walk-a-thon, our school held their annual club day, doing fun and fit activities!  The students were active playing baseball, running obstacle courses, participating in relays, playing games with the parachute, playing volleyball, and learning about nutrition.  We want to thank all the teachers who planned fun, active events, and especially to our Club Day Committee, Mrs. Mecham, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Naccarato, and Mrs. Bradley. 

Mt. Loafer is thrilled to have many cool instruments added to our music classes.  Thanks to a grant from the NEBO FOUNDATION, Mt. Loafer was able to receive some very nice xylophones and ukuleles.  Mrs. Brown, our music specialist, has already put them to good use and the students love them!

It was a fun day to come to school on Wednesday, when the PTO sponsored Pastries and Parents!  Many parents came with their children to read and to have a doughnut.  We appreciate the support Mt. Loafer parents give to our students and we want to give a big thanks to our great PTO!

The fifth grade students had a great time at the Hope of America Concert!  These great students represented Mt. Loafer so well and did a wonderful job singing along with hundreds of other students who wanted to show their love for America!  Thanks to the fifth grade teachers, Mrs. Brady, Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Naccarato, and Mrs. Wear.  We also want to thank Mrs. Brown for all her hard work in teaching the children all the wonderful songs.
