Lt. Governor Bell Visits Sierra Bonita

Submitted by janna.slye on

On October 23, 2012, Lt. Governor Greg Bell came to Sierra Bonita Elementary.  He said if you are getting made fun of, you should always be happy, nice, and kind anyway.  It doesn’t matter who you are, be nice to everyone!  You should ignore people if they are being unkind.  You should still be nice to them anyway.  If you are nice to people, they will most likely be nice to you.  Be proud of who you are!  Always be nice to everyone!  Lt. Governor Bell was impressed with Sierra Bonita and our principal Mr. Mike Larsen.

Making Medical History

Easton Thomas is a delightful boy who brightens up any room he walks into. Like most first-graders, he loves sports, outdoor activities, and playing with friends. He is affectionately referred to as “cool Easton” by his teacher, upon Easton’s request. He is also a six-year-old who happens to be defying many odds. Easton has a rare genetic disorder called Hunter’s Syndrome or MPS II. His body lacks an enzyme that helps break down long chain sugars called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the body.

Otter Pops

Submitted by janna.slye on

Third grade students at Sierra Bonita sung "Otter Pops, Otter Pops, come get your Otter Pops" in hope of selling ice cold Otter Pops.  They sold Otter Pops everyday at lunch recess at the start of the school year.  In two weeks they earned $250 which will be used for field trips.  The third grade students loved selling the Otter Pops and the other students enjoyed the cold treat on those hot days!

Our school has a wonderful website where you can access information such as the school’s Newsletter, Staff and Faculty, PTA, school hours, phone number and address, lunch menu, important dates, etc. If you haven’t had a chance to see our website, we encourage you to take the opportunity to view it at sierrabonita.nebo.edu . As our school continues to grow, and in order to cut costs so that we can better serve our students’ needs here at Sierra Bonita Elementary, we will no longer send home a printed copy of the school’s newsletter beginning in October.
