Students at Diamond Fork Junior High became part of Sierra Bonita’s staff for a day.  The 7th grade CTE (Career and Technical Education) classes participated in a job shadow day.  Several of those 7th grade students came to Sierra Bonita.  Annie Merrill was one of these students.  Annie, a student at Sierra Bonita last year, chose to help in Mrs. Sarianne Condie’s class.  Annie read with students including her younger sister, Sophie Merrill, who happens to be in Mrs.

On January 25, 2013 Sierra Bonita held its school wide 3rd grade spelling bee. We are very grateful to our two PTA representatives, Bobbie Bassett and Sasha Taylor, as well as Dr. Walton and Karen Payne, from the community, who volunteered to be on our judge’s panel. Two representatives from each of our four classes were chosen to participate. All eight of these wonderful spellers came very prepared having obviously studied and practiced. Our 3rd grade classes were a great audience and very supportive of their classmates.

Sierra Bonita students and staff showed their school spirit this week by dressing up.  The student council designated a theme for each day of the week.  

Monday-Hat Day

Tuesday-Pajama Day

Wednesday-Mismatch Day

Thursday-Red vs. Blue

Friday-Extreme Spirit Day

Both students and staff enjoyed participating in Spirit Week!

Mr. and Mrs. Claus paid a visit to the students at Sierra Bonita just before Christmas break.  Unfortunately, the Clauses were unable to land the sleigh in their usual spot due to icy rooftop conditions but the students did not seem to mind.  They were only interested in seeing Santa.  Mr. and Mrs. Claus encouraged the students to be kind to one another and wished them a Merry Christmas before they headed around the world to deliver presents.

Sierra Bonita students, staff, and parents look forward to the annual Sing-Around the Tree Assembly.  Each grade level performed an assortment of Christmas Songs.  The gymnasium was filled, not only with Sierra Bonita’s supportive families, but also filled with the spirit of Christmas.  Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this a memorable tradition.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

On Friday, November 9, Sierra Bonita had a wonderful Veteran’s Day assembly.  Some veterans came to visit.  They told us how long they served in the military and what they did.  They also showed us a very interesting slide show.  It was full of pictures showing what they did to serve.  At the end of the slideshow, the veterans told us that we should step up and make good choices and decisions.  They then retired the American flag, concluding the assembly and celebrating what they did for our country.
