Thank you for your wonderful support for Sierra Bonita Elementary!

School will resume on Monday, January 4, 2016

Sierra Bonita Elementary had an unexpected visitor this week. Darth Vader from Star Wars came to the school and challenged Alo Tauaese to a lightsaber duel.  Alo defeated Darth Vader in a hard fought battle. However, the real excitement was when Darth Vader presented Star Wars tickets to him. It was a fun day for Alo and for Sierra Bonita students and staff.

Nebo School District is providing after school coding camps. Beginner classes will be held at Sierra Bonita and Intermediate/Advance classes wil be held at other schools in the district.

This year Sierra Bonita's Student Council is doing things a little different.  Sixth grade Student Council members are creating a video for Friday morning announcements. Students are able to watch these announcements in their classrooms. This has been a fun activity for both the student council members and students.

All Friday morning announcements can be found at the following YouTube link.

All students at Sierra Bonita were able to participate in Hour of Code, a global program promoting computer science. Hour of Code week was kicked off with a great assembly with Cathi Ogden, a engineering manager at Symantec. She encouraged students to follow their dreams and generated some enthusiasm for computer science. Throughout the week students were introduced to computer programming through simple coding tutorials. A huge thank you to all those who contributed to this successful event.

Every Friday, "Praise Notes" are read during morning announcements. These students are called to the office and get thier picture taken. Students can earn a "Praise Note" by being caught doing kind things throughout the school and classrooms.

Students at Sierra Bonita enjoyed hearing the school choir sing! Students in the choir have been waking up and arriving to school an hour early to practice their songs. Those early morings sure payed off! They were wonderful!
