Tuesday September 21st PTA sponsored a doughnut morning to kick off the book fair at Spring Lake Elementary. Teachers came in to read to students while they ate doughnuts.
Scholastic is a great partner with the PTA in helping our school. Nebo Credit Union also donated $25 to classroom teachers who have an account with them. We are grateful for the support we get from the community.
Friday the 10th of September was an exciting day for 3rd grade students at Spring Lake Elementary as Dr. Adam N. Lee’s Red Rock Orthodontics office came to visit to go along with the Literacy Place story students read about Dr. De Soto by William Steig.
Tonya Cherrington came in and did a presentation about how it is important to take care of their teeth. We also got to see some interesting x-rays of teeth that came in wrong.
