On October 31st we had a dead word funeral.  Miss Stephens told us to pick two words we think we use too much and write those two words on a certain piece of paper.  Miss Stephens encouraged us not to use those words in our language or writing.  We lined up chairs and had tissues.  We expressed our experiences with the class(audience).  Miss Stephens sent us one by one to say goodbye to our words and set them in their grave.  

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!

Lindsey Smith was honored by the Spring Lake faculty as this years Crystal Apple winner.  Some things our faculty said about her…She is fantastic! She is willing to help anyone who needs help. She has a positive attitude and is fun to be around. She has great ideas on how to teach kids, she likes to learn new things, she is a great team member, she goes above and beyond, she is a team player, she made sure I never forgot holidays and kept me lint free!

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.
