Spring Lake was treated to a performance by the International Folk Dance Ensemble from BYU.  These amazingingly talented dancers presented a concert program of dances from more than a dozen nations, including Ukraine, Russia, Korea, Poland, Mexico, and the United States.  Each dance featured beautiful ethnic costumes and a brief history of the dance style of each nation.  The students and faculty were blown away at this performance.  Spring Lake may even have some future dancers who were inspired by this performance.   

The Second-grade put on an excellent performance of their annual Patriotic Program.  The program included several well known patriotic favorites as well as the second grade students teaching about the United States of America.  

The Spring Lake Orchestra put on an outstanding performance for their parents and the school during their spring concert.  They have been dedicated all year to attending orchestra before school hours to learn and develop new talents.  All their hard work is paying off and the orchestra is amazing.  

The students and faculty at Spring Lake have school spirit.  Each Friday Spring Lake demonstrates their school spirit by wearing school colors, shouting out the school cheer, and singing the school song.   To further encourage school spirit the PTA even provided donuts throughout the year to the classes who were consistent in showing Spring Lake pride.  Thank you PTA for adding a little more school spirit to Spring Lake Elementary.

The bean museum outreach program came and visited the kindergarten classes. Heather , a BYU student brought some live animals for us to look at. She brought a taranchula, a frog, and a snake. She taught us about animal differences. The highlight of the day was being able to “pet” the snake.

Famous people were brought back to life at the fifth-grade’s annual wax museum. Students and parents were able to hear life stories, and accomplishments from these famous people. Great job to all who participated.

Mr. Lai, Mrs. Cofie, Ms. Grover, Mr. Ewell, and Ms. Smith were able to get ipads for their classrooms. They are such a great resource and hands on tool for learning. Thanks to those who donated, and to Horace Mann, Nebo Foundation, and Donorschoose.

Third-grade had a fun day competing at the annual track meet. Students participated in running, and fielding events. It was a fun time by all, they even got to see some old classmates that had moved to other local area schools. Thanks to all those that helped support this event.
