Arbor Day Celebration

Submitted by tiffany.manwaring on

The City of Spanish Fork invited Sierra Bonita Elementary to take part in Arbor Day Celebration. We had our 5th and 6th grade students take part in this event. We had a short program followed by our own amazing 5th grader, Camryn Payne, who sang a beautiful rendition of 'The Giving Tree' by the Plain White T's. The student then planted a few trees and we had a special visitor by the name of Smokey The Bear!!  Thank you Spanish Fork City for allowing us this fun opportunity for our students!

6th Grade 13 Mile Hike!

Submitted by tiffany.manwaring on

6th grade students were dropped off at Utah Lake to start their hike on the Provo River Trail. Most of them made it all the way to Bridal Veil Falls! Not too worry, if they were tired and couldn't go on, we had a bus following the entire time that they could get on. We stopped at mile 7.5, the Provo Wills Pit Stop, and had lunch. We are so proud of our 6th grade students for such a great accomplishment!

Mother's Day Project

Submitted by tiffany.manwaring on

On May 11th mothers all across the country were celebrated.  Miss Mathews' class made gifts for this special day.  Each student decorated a purse that contained student-made items to show their love for their moms.  A mother's purse would not be complete without a wallet, keys, coupons, and a card.  All items were made by the students.  Some even chose to add in a cell phone, band-aides, gum, receipts, etc.  We love our moms and hope they had a wonderful Mother's Day!
