Over the summer students participated in the Bonnie Plant 3rd grade cabbage program. They give a $1,000 scholarship to a student in each state with the best cabbage. We had three students that brought back photos. Jaxon Hill, Morgan Sheets, and Nathan Hadlock. They grew some great looking cabbages. Let’s hope one of them wins!
The kindergarten classes started "Secret Letter Detective" this week. If a student gets chosen to be the letter detective they will have a letter necklace and a bag. They are then responsible to bring something to school the next day that begins with that letter! They need to be prepared with three clues that they will present to the class. The item they bring is kept a secret and hidden in the bag until the clues have been presented!
The gingerbread man ran away from the kindergarten kids on the first day of school! The kids looked all over the School for him while learning how to line up, walk nicely and obey the school rules. They met many important Spring Lake teachers and office staff while they conducted their search. On Friday, Mr. Probst caught that wiley gingerbread man and returned him safe and sound! He wasn't safe for long though, because they ate him before he could run away again!
Third grade celebrated the first week of school by having a slice of summer. Students wrote about what they did over the summer. Then they shared watermelon slices on Friday August 22nd.
Third-grade had an eventful time at the Hershey Track at the High School. Students participated in track and field events. Spring Lake was able to take a couple of top place medals. Go Hawks!
Students had a fun afternoon playing some relay games. They did potato sack races, and did a relay where they had to put on shorts, long sleeve shirt, hat, scarf, and gloves.
Third-grade students had fun bowling at South County Lanes as part of their field trip. It was neat to see the kids all have fun, and see what kind of skills they had. There were even several who broke 100. Watch out they may go professional!
Sixth-grade students tried hard to defeat the teachers in the annual kickball game, but alas it did not happen.
Upper-grade students enjoyed a fun field day at the Payson City Pool. Students floated in the lazy river, slid down slides, and jumped off the diving board. It was a great way to finish out the year.
