The 5th graders got to sing at the Central Utah Veterans Home tonight in Payson. It was so nice to be able to honor our veterans with song!

There are certain things that a teacher must never do:  Never pour Plaster of Paris down the sink.  Never stand on a bathroom scale when teaching your students about pounds and ounces.  Never throw a wilted flower away in front of the child who gave it to you no matter how droopy it is.  And never forget to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day.

I don’t know why, but kids like to talk about their parents’ ages.  It is a predictable subject of conversation.  Every year, at some time, I will hear one student ask another, “How old is your mom?”

I remember when I first heard the question.  I was twenty-two years old, fresh out of college and newly married. 

When I heard students announce their parents age as thirty-five; I thought, wow, their parents are old!

We had so much celebrating Dr. Seuss week! Here are a few pics of the week!

Congratulations to the February students of the month!  Happy Birthday to Mrs. Killian! Congratulations to Ms. Powell for employee of the month and Mrs. Moody's class for making their mark!!

As a very young child I was invited to sing at church groups and community meetings.  What I lacked in tone, I made up for in volume.  Whenever retirement homes, civic meetings or ladies church groups had a problem, I was invited to sing.  I think I helped them realize that my voice was a lot worse than their problem.

Auditions for Seussical Kids will be on Tuesday, February 26  from 3:30-4:30 for those wanting to try out for a solo singing/speaking part in the show.  Come prepared to sing a 1-2 minute song of your choice for the directors.  Stay tuned for more ways your child can be involved in the show in a group or behind the scenes.

Over the years, I have read countless picture books and I always return to the fairy tales.   When I was a classroom teacher, my class would compare and contrast fairy tales.  When discussing their similarities, the children mentioned the existence of magic, witches, castles, elves, spells, curses, which one is a Disney movie, and so forth.  But they always left out one very important commonality – food. 

Kindergarten registration, traditionally held in March, will be moved to the summer and combined with grades 1st -12th. More detailed information regarding summer registration for K-6th will be sent out to you before the end of the school year.

Parents can prepare now for registering their kindergarten children by making sure they have a birth certificate and that their child is current on the following immunizations: DTap, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Polio, Varicella and MMR by the end of July.
