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.

This is the Place

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

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!
