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.

We are excited to introduce our March Students of the Month!  These students have been great examples in their classes and the teachers appreciate their willingness to be helpful, kind, and happy!  Here are our Students of the Month:

The students had an "egg"stra special Friday, getting ready for Easter!  Room parents came to classrooms and made this a very special day for the students!  There were Easter eggs, games, crafts, and treats!  Thanks to our wonderful parents at Mt. Loafer for making this an "EGG"strodinary day!

Science Fairs are all about getting kids excited about learning.  Paisley Bills, Bree Riding, Rebekah Jensen, Bree Hendry, Stockton Haskell, Eli Adamson, and Kyler Holman  demonstrated their excitement and knowledge at the Central Utah Science and Engineering Fair (CUSEF) hosted at BYU and were award winners.

Reading is very important to Mt. Loafer Students and it showed in the number of tickets that were to be drawn out for the Ken Garff bike and for the $50.00 college savings certificate for reading!  This term the winners were Kate Bonny, who won the bike, and William Ewell, who won the $50.00 college savings certificate!  Great job to all you Grizzlies who are reading!

The students at Mt. Loafer enjoyed a wonderful assembly presented by, Salzburger Echo!  Salzburger Echo presented “Music of the Alps,” using a wide range of unusual instruments.  Their folk music originated from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.  They played instruments such as the twelve-foot alphorns, Swiss cowbells, and yodeled as well.  Some of the teachers even got involved playing, “It’s A Small World!”  It was a great assembly!

The library at Mt. Loafer received a beautiful new rug, thanks to the Hughes Family.  Pictured in the middle of these students is Creighton Hughes, who is a 3rd grader and who with his family, has made our library a wonderful place to enjoy reading!

Mt. Loafer participated in the Arbor Day Contest and had many wonderful entries.  The theme for the contest was, “Trees are Terrific and Need Our Care.  The winners of the contest are, Sam Spencer-4th Grade, Mari Paxton-3rd grade, Kyla Bingham-6th grade, and Katie Farley-5th grade.  Congratulations to these great artists!

Once upon a time each spring, the first grade students study fairy tales. During the unit they learn about the elements that make a fairy tale, they compare and contrast popular fairy tales, learn of characters and morals, create puppets and retell the fairy tales through song and voice to the parents.  The students really enjoy it and...they live happily ever after.
