Friday was a special day for Abby Haskell and Sam Levie!  Abby and Sam won the drawing from Ken Garff.  All those students who have been reading and have met the monthly grade level goals were able to put their names into a drawing for a bike.   Thanks to Ken Garff for supporting our readers! Keep reading, Mt. Loafer Grizzlies!  

Our Mt. Loafer 6th Graders had the opportunity this week to attend the BYU Sports Hero day. There were just shy of 1,000 6th grade students that attended this event. 

The students participated in various stations put together by almost all of the BYU athletics teams. Each station had an activity that was led by athletes from the respective sport, giving the students the opportunity to interact with their BYU sports heroes.

Mt. Loafer will no longer have a recycle bin due to the fact that the company in charge of the bin needs to relocate it.  But thank you to all those who have recycled papers!  Our student council recycled for the last time today and were delighted as the amount of recycling was taller than they were.

Conferences are Thursday, January 14th from 3:30 PM-8:45 PM.  Click the links provided to sign up.

Congratulations and thank you to the December Students of the Month!

Dylan Bryan Whiting, 12, is from Salem and attends Mt. Loafer Elementary. He was selected as the Daily Herald's Utah Valley Student of the Week.

Dylan is in Ms. Harris' sixth grade class and has excelled while he has been at Mt. Loafer for the last 1.5 years. His teachers commented that he turns in all of his homework and goes out of his way to check for missing work. They believe it is because of his work ethic that he has come so far academically. The teachers at Mt. Loafer are very proud of him.

Santa visited Mt. Loafer Students who have been very good this year!  He judged the Ho Ho Ho contest and the winner was Eric Cheney. Students enjoyed singing and feeling the Christmas spirit.  To do a little service at Christmas, Mt. Loafer Students collected 876 cans of food to donate to Tabitha's Way.  Why were students so motivated to collect this much food?  Well, it was to help those in need, but also to throw pies in the faces of some very good natured student council members and our beloved Mr. Roberts.  Doing good for others feels great!

Thank you Kindergarten for the joyous collection of songs and poems you shared with us.  The big smiles on the faces of children were the best prop of all!

Mrs. Turner delights our school each year with her 4th grade class performance of A Christmas Carol. Students sing, dance, and act during this play and share the great message of caring for others at Christmas!  Thank you Mrs. Turner!

Mt. Loafer Student Council members give regular service to their school.  Every Thursday council members collect paper from each classroom and take it to the recycling bins.  This is more work than you might think! It takes effort, organization, and dedication.  Thank you for helping our school!
