Horton Hears a Who!

Miranda Giles from the Utah Shakespearean Festival entertained the Kindergarten, First, Second and Third Grade classes on Tuesday with the story "Horton Hears a Who!"
Ms. Giles then directed the students in acting out an energetic version of the Dr. Suess story. Some students squawked as monkeys, flew as vultures, yelled as small Whos and everyone learned a person's a person no matter how small!
Acting out "Gertrude McFuzz" brought out lots of laughter and superb acting.
As Ms. Giles read and directed the last book, "Horton Hatches an Egg", everyone was pleading to take part in the acting!
After working with Ms. Giles, we are all very excited to attend the Shakespearean Festival's production of "Suessical the Musical" on Wednesday, March 24!

Spring Book Fair

SPRING BOOK FAIR

This years annual spring Scholastic Book Fair was held March 1-5, and was so much fun!

The books were great, and we even sold out of a few!  Dinosaurs Love Underpants was definitely the
most popular book this time!
The boys really liked the secret code to the video games books, and the creepy monster books.
The older girls took a liking to Models Don't Eat Cookies, among some other series books.
And for the little ones, the Can You See What I See? Treasure Ship was the favorite
to look at.
And of course all the kids cleaned up on the cute pens, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, bookmarks and
stickers.

A big Thank You to all the parents who supported our Spring Book Fair. It was a huge success, and hopefully
you went home with some great books to read to your kids. Reading to them is SO important, and has huge
benefits. We hope that you know how much we appreciate you coming into the Book Fair and supporting the
PTA, we couldn't do it without all of you, and the students too!
