Mt. Loafer Student Council has chosen October to be "Grizzly Do Good Month”.

It is not uncommon for parents to eat breakfast with their children, though they usually do it at home.  But on October 17th, from 8:00-9:00 a.m., we invite you to join us to snack on doughnuts, sip milk, and read stories with your children.  Twice a year, Mt. Loafer's PTO sponsors this event.  The aim is encouraging more parental participation at the school.  This event strengthens the home-school connection, so come join us!!

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:

Student Education Plan Conferences (SEP's) are an important component of ongoing home–school communication and family involvement in children's education. Our Student Education Plan Conferences will be held on Wednesday, October 3rd, and Thursday, October 4th.

The goal of Red Ribbon Week is to provide an opportunity for students and teachers to talk about some of the dangers and risks that are involved with experimentation and prolonged use of drugs and alcohol.

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...
