The student council officers were able to attend a Student Council Leadership Conference at BYU last week.  Our president, Trey Stephens, along with Leah Neria, Emily Stevens, Kyra Mickelsen, Paige Paxton, and Kenzie Wilkinson,  learned a lot about being a leader, participated in team building activities, and had fun meeting other students who were also involved in student council.  There were also excellent speakers, like John Bytheway, Ryan Radebaugh, Brent Barton, Brent Burnham, Darroll Young, and Mike Cottam, who did a wonderful job presenting ideas that will help our cou

Mt. Loafer students had a fun day, Friday, wearing their pajamas to school!  This day was the last day of our Red Ribbon Week and the students got  to just relax, wind down, and watch a fun movie in class!   The students were given popcorn for a treat, thanks to our awesome PTO!  Our students have learned that there are much better things to do than to do drugs!  Thanks, Mt. Loafer students, for finding better things to do than drugs and for making a difference by saying "NO" to drugs!

Our students at Mt. Loafer had a great day celebrating ways they can be active and participate in sports instead of doing drugs.  We want to be active and healthy and our students showed their enthusiasm for that by dressing up in their favorite sport's outfit!  Our students also drew wonderful pictures of what they would rather be doing with their time than being involved with drugs.  Good job Mt. Loafer Grizzlies!

The students at Mt. Loafer Elementary started their RED RIBBON WEEK with special help from students from Salem Hills High School!  The theme for Red Ribbon Week is "I've got Better Things to Do Than Drugs."  The Skyhawks shared what they would rather be doing than drugs and gave examples of playing soccer, tennis, basketball, softball, and being involved with music.  Cole Castleberry and Michael Goodman, both from the student body council, performed a musical number for the Mt. Loafer Grizzlies.

We are excited to announce our first Students of the Month for the month of September!  These students worked hard to start the school year off right!  We are proud of their efforts and appreciate their great example!  These are the students:

Listed are some of the activities that we will be involved in Oct. 1st-5th:

What do folks such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Thomas Edison and Mt. Loafer Grizzlies all have in common?  They are changing our world and they may have even been called a "nerd." 

We had fun on Nerd Day.  Take a peek...

On September 21st, 1998 a healthy baby boy was born to Alan and Dayna Hughes.  The Hughes' had been married for 15 years, and, unable to have any children of their own, had already adopted two beautiful girls, Lauren and Mallory.  But, without warning, Landon died in an unfortunate drowning accident.  Dayna and Alan wondered how they could honor their son and keep his memory alive.  They decided to set up a special place in their daughters' school library where children could come to read and relax, and where the love of reading and learning would be encouraged.

The Fall Festival was a HUGE success and there was fun to be had by all who attended! The theme of the festival was Dr. Suess's "Oh The Places You'll Go"  Bounce houses, game booths, decorations, and food all was themed to a Dr. Suess book. There was a silent auction and also book baskets that parents could bid on.
