Mt. Loafer students were able to learn a lot about the great state of Utah, thanks to the Fourth Grade!  Each year the students choose a Utah county to research and present their discoveries at the annual county fair!  They learn about the exciting places to visit, available resources, and fun facts from their county. Thanks, fourth grade students, for your hard work!

Gathered around tables, laying on the floor and hunched in corners in Mt.

The signing of the World War I Armistice took place in a railway coach near the battle zone in France. The bugles sounded cease fire and the hostilities ended, marking a most significant moment in world history.

While Veterans Day is primarily a tribute to Americaʼs living veterans, and is typically observed more as a celebration than as a somber remembrance (Memorial Day), it is always appropriate to include a moment of respect for those who gave their lives for our country.

Student council members have been busy advertising and preparing for the GRAND OPENING of the student store.  It paid off and so far, has been a success!  Store hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:40 - 8:55. Many school supplies (with our cool Mt. Loafer logo) can be purchased for just a dime.  Visors are 25 cents and water bottles are 50 cents.  Student council members work as clerks selling items, managers who restock supplies, and advertising agents. 

Mt. Loafer 4th Grade Students Meet Governor Herbert!

Submitted by jodi.mckee on Mon, 11/03/2014 - 22:53

Each year Mt. Loafer 4th grade students learn about Utah government.  Today, they were able to see where the branches of government do their work.  Students were able to meet the leader of the executive branch of government, Governor Gary Herbert!  He had fun with the students and asked them to show him a Mt. Loafer grizzly growl, which they gladly did for them.  He also encouraged students to get as much school as they could...the goal being college or trade school.  Next students saw where the legislative branches of our state government meet. And finally they sat in the Supreme court.
