On Thursday, September 22nd Mt. Loafer students and staff said goodbye to Mr. Hogan and hello to Mr. Talbot. How do we say goodbye to an old friend and hello to a new friend in the same minute?

Friday, September 23rd, is Mr. Hogan's last day at Mt. Loafer Elementary. We would like to honor him on Thursday, September 22nd by having a Mr. Hogan Day. We are asking all faculty and students to come to school dressed as a school custodian: blue jeans, blue shirt, keys on the belt loop, and hiking boots are Mr. Hogan's usual school attire. Let's show Mr. Hogan we love him and will miss him!
Got school spirit? Well then, let's hear it!!! On Wednesday, September 14th, Mt.

Loafer looks very "bright!!"
We would like to thank the PTA for sponsoring such a wonderful event for our school. Also we would like to thank all the families that came to join in on the fun. Everyone was happy, well feed, and social. Can't ask for anything better!
Students and faculty are both excited and saddened by Mr. Hogan's announcement that he will be leaving us at the end of September for a district position. Mr. Hogan is being promoted to Nebo School District Roving Custodian.

This generation of students faces extraordinary health issues related to diet and exercise. Healthy students are better learners. As a result, the Nebo School District Student Wellness Policy, passed in 2008, created some guidelines for when foods and beverages are made available to students. The policy asks that the food and beverages be more nutritious and feature healthy choices. See: http://www.nebo.edu/pubpolicy/E/EFA.pdf
