We are excited to announce our new Mt. Loafer Student Council Officers for the 2013-2014 school year!  They will lead our school and help the students with activity days, spirit days, assemblies, and serve on different committees.  We appreciate their great example at our school.  They are:  (front row) Taylie Mayfield, Paisley Bills, and McKenzie Graham.  (Back row)  Kyler Holman-President, Taos Dye-Vice President, and Silas Wallentine.

Things were a little topsy-tervy, roley-poley, and just plain funny when Mrs. Killian met her matches on the mat as she battled the teachers at Sumo Wrestling!  Mrs. Killian promised the classes who met their goal for the walk-a-thon, that she would wrestle their teachers on the mat!  They dressed up as Sumo Wrestlers and grappled to the ground!  There were cheers, and cries of victory from the teachers AND from Mrs. Killian!  We appreciate all the students who worked so hard to help bring money in to the school for this fundraiser, and a very BIG thanks to Mrs.

Our very special first, second, and third grade students performed a spectacular spring concert, under the direction of our wonderful music teacher, Robin Brown.  The students sang many patriotic classics, such as, You're a Grand Old Flag, America, God Bless the USA, Fifty, Nifty, United States, and All-American Me and You, plus many others.  Mrs. Brown has been working hard with each class and it showed by the enthusiasm that filled the room! Thanks to all of these wonderful students and to Mrs. Brown for the hard work and effort put into this concert!

We are so proud to present the Mt. Loafer Students of the Month for April!  These students are doing such a great job helping their teachers, setting an example for their peers, and being great citizens for our school!  Thanks to the following students for all they do!

Friday was a wonderful day for our Walk-a-thon!  The students came ready for this fabulous fundraiser, with their walking shoes, shorts, cool t-shirts, and sunglasses! The students walked around the course that was ¼ mile in distance and received certain prizes and treats as they completed so many laps.  There were many red faces, tired legs, but most of all, lots and lots of smiles as they ran and walked for a great cause!  Thanks Mt. Loafer students, and especially Mrs. Betteridge, our physical Education specialist, for putting this all together! 

Friday is our Walkathon.  Our goal is to raise $4,000.

The course lap will be ¼ mile long.  The walking time will be 1 ½ hours; grades K-3rd from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m., grades 4th – 6th from 1:00-2:30 p.m.  Families can come “set up camp” on the grass field and on locations along the course.  Plan to bring folding chairs or a blanket or your walking shoes, depending on if you want to walk with us or watch.  No bicycles or pets. 

Mt. Loafer students want to show that they believe in being physically fit and living a healthy lifestyle!  In preparation for our upcoming walk-a-thon, our school held their annual club day, doing fun and fit activities!  The students were active playing baseball, running obstacle courses, participating in relays, playing games with the parachute, playing volleyball, and learning about nutrition.  We want to thank all the teachers who planned fun, active events, and especially to our Club Day Committee, Mrs. Mecham, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Naccarato, and Mrs. Bradley. 

Mt. Loafer is thrilled to have many cool instruments added to our music classes.  Thanks to a grant from the NEBO FOUNDATION, Mt. Loafer was able to receive some very nice xylophones and ukuleles.  Mrs. Brown, our music specialist, has already put them to good use and the students love them!

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.
