In Sixth Grade, today, the students celebrated Pi Day!  March 14, 2013 marks the annual Pi Day, 3.14!  Mrs. VanLeeuwan and Mrs. Gwynn centered the whole day around fun activities using 3.14.  The students found the circumference of a circle, made a circle, made circles from rectangles, and finally, the best part of the day was eating real pie! Pictured here ready for pie, is Maddie Shuler, Evelyn Bushman, Rebecca Cromar, Mrs. VanLeeuwan, Mrs. Gwynn, and Hunter Riding.

We were excited to have a special visitor at our school on Wednesday!  Superintendent Nielsen came to visit each classroom at Mt. Loafer.  He read a story to the kindergarten children and showed some pictures of alligators to our pre-school children.  It was fun to have Mr. Nielsen come to our school and to show him the great things that our children are doing here, at Mt. Loafer!

VAROOOOM!  It's the Kindy 500 in Kindergarten!  The kindergarten children had a fun-filled day zooming across America to learn all about our country’s National Symbols!  The children came in their own custom designed cars and cruised in luxury to each Historical Site!  Thanks to the many volunteers who helped the children learn such valuable lessons!

We are excited to announce our students for the month of February!  They have been such great students and we know they will continue to put forth their best effort for the rest of the year!  Thanks Mt.

The first grade students had a  practically perfect Pig Day, playing pig games, posing as pigs, pigging out, and petting real pigs!  It was a special day to focus on the letter “P” and to see and hear all the words that begin with “P”.  Our special faculty member, Collette Russell, arranged to have some baby piglets come to class to let the first grade students see, touch, and especially smell the little porkers!  It was a fun day for the first grade!  

February 22 marks the day for TWIN DAY at Mt. Loafer!  Many of the students dressed up the same to show support for good friendship, and looking for the good examples that we want to have and to be like!  The students had a fun time dressing the same on this Fun Friday!

The fifth grade students have been experimenting, hypothesizing, and analyzing  to find the perfect science project.  Their science fair was Friday and they brought their displays with information to share with the rest of the school.  The projects were judged and the winners will go on to the District Competition.  The winners are:  (Front Row) Josh McKee, Stockton Haskell, Gabe Jamison, Dylan Mecham. (Middle Row) Rebekah Jensen, Bree Riding, Eli Adamson, Kyler Holman. (Top Row) Bree Hendry, Bryn Riley, Paisley Bills, Katie Farley, Tyler Levi.

Valentine's Day at Mt. Loafer!  There were lots of special hearts, candy, and notes passed around for Valentine's Day!  The students enjoyed this special day letting their peers know how special they all are!  We are lucky to have such great students at Mt. Loafer!

Our fifth grade students have been working hard during the month of February.  Every year during the week before Valentine’s Day, they put together ‘Candy Grams!’ These candy grams are made up of a little Valentine card with a candy kiss attached to it.  They are sold for $.25 and the money goes to a special-needs  project.  The students love this week and love sending their friends their love with a special note!  Thanks to the fifth grade students and to their teachers, Mrs. Naccarato, Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Brady, and Mrs. Wear.
