December 2023

First grade students loved having Santa come to their class as a mystery reader! 

Congratulations to December’s students of the month! These students were recognized for being generous. 

Congratulations to Mrs. Woodland and Mrs. Jex for being awarded for being outstanding employees! We are lucky to have them at Spring Lake. Our school is a better place because of them.

Mr. Ewell’s fifth grade class performed “A Christmas Carol” today. Their practicing and efforts paid off as they wowed those who viewed the play. 

Members of the Hawk Squad delivered a treat to those who share a back fence with our school. We’re very grateful to them for being good neighbors. 

Spring Lake Elementary has an amazing after-school choir!  The choir is for students from kindergarten to 5th grade.  We meet in the gym on Thursdays right after school from 3:30-4:30 starting January 11th.  Performances are in May during the school day for the student body and the evening concert for family and friends at Payson High School is on Monday, May 21st at 7:00 PM in the auditorium. 

Kindergarten SEP conferences will be held December 19-21 as well as January 11. Please sign up on the Signup Genius for a time to meet with your child's teacher. 

Congratulations to the November students of the month. These students were awarded for demonstrating the character trait of being grateful. 

Congratulations to Mrs. McFarland for being awarded the Crystal Apple Award. Mrs. McFarland is one of our incredible kindergarten teachers. She loves her students and works tirelessly for their success. We are grateful that she works at Spring Lake!

In November, our school created a gratitude tree. Each student and teacher wrote what they were grateful for on a leaf.
