Steve James came to share some of his songs with Spring Lake students and started off by telling them about his “Girl Friend from the 80’s”. The students were really involved and he had their attention. Mr. James took time to tell the history behind some the songs he shared, and took some request from teachers for favorite songs. Thanks to Mr. James for helping us kick our Bullying Awareness.

 “Steve James is currently CEO of Something Good, Inc. and Steve James Productions. His songs can be found in every elementary classroom in the state of Utah as a key component of "Prevention Dimensions," part of the Utah State Health Core Curriculum.”

Students gathered together in the atrium at Spring Lake to listen to the safety tips offered by Mr. Liechty, a volunteer fire fighter for the city of Payson. Mr. Liechty is also the father of Brayden and Jordyn Liechty who attend Spring Lake Elementary. They learned how to be safe in the event of a fire and the importance of having a “Family Fire Plan”. Students were also able to see one of the fire trucks up close.
