It is Halloween time in Kindergarten at Spring Lake Elementary.  Our cute little goblins had a great time learning how to dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller".  Spooky fun was had by all!  Happy Halloween!

Students at Spring Lake Elementary celebrated Red Ribbon week by pledging to stay drug free. Monday they wore red mustaches to school. Tuesday was crazy day because you would have to be crazy to do drugs, so student have crazy socks and hair. Wednesday Students wore team jerseys because we need to stick together. Thursday was a pajama day to wake up and say no to drugs. Students also made banners that hung in the hallways, and had a penny fundraising competition to help sponsor someone at Steps Recovery Center in Payson. $365.53 was raised which will be matched.

The office at Spring Lake Elementary was turned overnight into the Black Pearl.  Pirates were seen taking over as Halloween was celebrated.

Part of our science core for fourth-grade is that students will understand how fossils are made and do investigations with fossils. Luckily for us at Spring Lake Elementary School, we have a really nice landowner in our neighborhood, that has fossils on his property. For the past five or six years he has allowed us to take a one mile hike up into the foothills on his property and look for fossils. Over fifty percent of the students find fossils. They are mostly fossilized clams from ancient seas that used to cover the area around our school.

Spring Lake Elementary Second-grade held their annual olympic events in September.  The second-grade students participated in various activities to help unite their class as a team and build positive relationships with their peers.  The students learned and practiced good sportsmanship and took pride in doing their best as classmates cheered them on. 

Miss Stephen’s fourth-grade class learns how fossils are formed.

On September 13th, Spring Lake Elementary 5th Grade students converged on Payson Memorial Park for a memorable day of teamwork and physical activity at their Battle Boot Camp. Thanks to the help of many willing parents, the students enjoyed several rotation activities in their Boot Camp training. They ran an obstacle course and had "marching practice".  They also strapped on  2x4s.  in groups to demonstrate their skills in working together.
