On September 17th Spring Lake hosted its first PTA Carnival. Each grade level hosted an activity. There was a bounce house and slide as well as face painting, balloon animals, fish pond, ring toss, football throw, soda pop walk, flag tag, and everyone’s favorite the fun flush. There were also food booths with popcorn, nachos, cotton candy and thanks to a generous off from Sara Lee – hotdogs, chips, and drinks.
Kindergarten students made gingerbread men that have come alive and run away. They are exploring the school and meeting new teachers and staff as they search for the missing gingerbread man. If you have seen him please contact the kindergarten teacher immediately!
September 10th, 2010 the Utah Opera visited Spring Lake Elementary to see who wants to be an opera star. They brought a baritone, soprano, mezzo, and tenor.
Students had fun seeing the different types of opera they have, and the costumes they have. We also learned that opera is sung in many different languages. Maybe one day we will have a famous opera singer from our school!
Tuesday 14th of September 2010 was an important day for the students all over the nation as President Barrack Obama took time out of his day to talk to students and the importance of education and doing their best.
“Nobody gets to write your destiny but you. Your future is in your hands. Your life is what you make of it. And nothing -- absolutely nothing -- is beyond your reach, so long as you’re willing to dream big, so long as you’re willing to work hard. So long as you’re willing to stay focused on your education, there is not a single thing that any of you cannot accomplish, not a single thing. I believe that.”
“But let me tell you, what you’re doing is worth it. There is nothing more important than what you’re doing right now. Nothing is going to have as great an impact on your success in life as your education, how you’re doing in school.”
