Fifth graders embarked on a field trip to the Utah State Capitol in February. There, they were able to learn about some of Utah's history, enjoy the architecture of the building, and be witness to a piece of the 2026 legislative session. Then, they went and listened to the Utah Symphony perform!

Our 2nd graders in Ms. Mabey's class did an amazing job on their animal report dioramas! The classroom was packed with families—what a huge turnout! We loved seeing our students so proud as they shared what they learned and confidently presented their hard work. So much growth, learning, and creativity all in one room!
Kindergarten has been learning about Native Americans in our reading curriculum, and to wrap up the unit, one of our student’s parents came to share about their Native Ute tribe. We learned where their reservation is located, saw traditional clothing, and even heard about how they dance at a powwow. It was such a special and meaningful experience for our classes!
A Gift of Words: Thank You, Bountiful Rotary Club!
Recently our third graders had a very special visit from the Bountiful Rotary Club!
Each student received their very own dictionary to keep. Their excitement was contagious as students eagerly flipped through the pages, exploring guide words, discovering new vocabulary, and even challenging each other to find the longest word they could spot!
They had so much fun learning how to use their dictionaries—locating definitions, checking spelling, and noticing all the extra features inside. The biggest smiles came when they realized the dictionaries were theirs to take home and use all year long.
Thank you, Bountiful Rotary Club, for supporting literacy and for investing in our young learners. We truly appreciate your kindness and your commitment to education!

VEX Robotics Club Spotlight!
We are so proud of our VEX Robotics Club for their dedication and hard work! From the initial build all the way to competition day, students showed incredible perseverance, creativity, and teamwork.
Along the way, they learned how to design, test, and improve their robots by problem-solving, collaborating with teammates, and fixing challenges as they arose. Students thoughtfully analyzed what was working, what needed improvement, and how to make their robots perform better—then put those ideas into action.
Their commitment, teamwork, and willingness to learn through trial and error are worth celebrating. Way to go, VEX Robotics Club!

Fourth graders enjoyed visiting the Natural History Museum of Utah. They took a class about fossils from the museum experts. Then they explored the museum's exhibits about prehistoric animals, Native Americans, geology and much more. Field trips are the best!
The Folding Fanatics of Third Grade!
Students folded their way into fractions today! Students kicked off their fraction unit with hands-on learning by folding rectangles of paper to create and explore different fractions. Learning is better when you can model it, see it, and touch it!
