ELF Day! Everyone Loves Friends!

Submitted by larraine.nelson on

Tuesday was a very special day at Mt. Loafer!  ELF Day!  ELF, at Mt. Loafer, stands for Everyone Loves Friends!  Our student council put together some great activities, including reading Christmas stories to the younger grades, finding the "Elves on the Shelves", and talking to students about being a good friend.  The teachers did some great activities along with  ELF Day and many students dressed as Santa’s little helpers!  We know that our students will always be good friends to everyone! 

 

Get Active with Minutes of Motion

Mt. Loafer students and staff are trying to be active and stay healthy.  Mrs. Betteridge, our PE specialist, has challenged us to complete one million minutes of motion this year. 

Calendars are sent home monthly to track physical activity. Ten active families are then rewarded for their efforts to stay fit.

Science Has Never Been This Much Fun!

Submitted by angela.killian on

Mt. Loafer's teachers know that students learn best "by doing" - especially in the sciences. 

Club Day involved students from K-6th in hands-on activites and each science club was different; rocketry, chemistry, flight, genetics, geology, and many other disciplines of science.  All the clubs were designed to capture children's natural curiosity, stimulate their interest in science and teach them important science topics along with critical thinking skills.
