Welcome to Sierra Bonita Elementary!

We extend a warm welcome to students, parents, and families of Sierra Bonita
Elementary, Home of the Bears. We look forward to working with each member of our school community to achieve our school mission statement:

In partnership with parents and community, our mission at Sierra Bonita Elementary is to create high levels of learning for every student, celebrate individual differences and abilities, and inspire responsible citizenship and lifelong success.

5th graders at Sierra Bonita memorized the 50 states this year.  They held a State Fair on Friday, May 18, to celebrate all they had learned.  They each made a diorama to represent one of the 50 states.   Members of the school community enjoyed  visiting the State Fair and seeing all the hard work the students did.

As a fourth grade at Sierra Bonita, we had the opportunity to go on a field trip to This is the Place, in Salt Lake City.  While we were there, we had the chance to visit a few different rotations to learn about Utah’s history.   A few of the rotations that we went to while we were on our field trip were pioneer dancing, learning about pioneer schooling, as well as learning about real mountain men. The students had a great time learning a circle dance as a class.

The student council had a blast hosting "Teacher Idol" on Friday, April 27th. Haley Crowther beautifully performed the national anthem to kick the assembly off. The contest was judged by our special guests "Jennifer Lopez", "Stephen Tyler" and "Randy Jackson". In the end, the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade teachers won first place, followed closely by the 2nd and 3rd teacher team. We look forward to seeing what the teachers will do next year!

The students at Sierra Bonita Elementary recently participated in a Penny Wars fundraiser for students in Cambodia. The students first participated in a presentation given by Carina Ream about the students in Cambodia. She shared with the students that all of the money raised would be going to purchase school uniforms. Carina let the students know that in Cambodia children cannot attend school without a uniformand got them excited to help raise money . The students were also motivated to bring their pennies by competing as grade levels in a school wide competition.

One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a fun and exciting play filled with comedy. Stage crew has had tons of fun making sets, the actors have had a good time practicing, and everybody has worked hard. We are all excited to perform. by Leah Farnsworth and Nishelle Cox

The third grade students enjoyed a very delightful and informative day at the BYU Planetarium, as well as the Monte L. Bean Museum on Leap Day 2012.  Watching a movie on the ceiling about comets and planets helped put into perspective how big our solar system is.  Each student got to pick his/her favorite planet and learn more about it.
