Students worked hard on designing and creating a yearbook cover for the yearbook cover contest. While this is the fourth consecutive year of the contest, it is the first time that every student participated.! They made them during their art specialty, focusing on how to convey a theme. This year's theme was "Life is a Highway." Each cover was evaluated and a top 30 were chosen anonymously by faculty and staff. The top 30 were displayed proudly in the main hall. Then EVERY STUDENT got to cast their vote for their favorite! The winner was fifth grader, Avery Staheli. Congratulations! Her artwork will be featured on the cover of the 24-25 yearbook! Don't forget to order yearbooks by March 31st :)
It is kindness week at Santaquin Elementary! Students had the chance to write on a heart what kindness means to them! It is a colorful and beautiful reminder of what and how we can show kindness to ourselves and others. It means so much to hear what our students have to say about kindness....
"Kindness is..."
"...like a big hug"
"...a friend who would put your needs in their hands"
"...helping someone out just to help out, but you don't do it for a reward"
"...a super power no one will change"
"...the only thing you need to guide you to success"
"...respecting others, little things still count!"
It has come to our attention that our school drop off procedures are causing some distress. If you are a grown up, bringing children to school, please do it patiently, and safely. Our students, families, and faculty are SO important to us, and our goal is for Santaquin Elementary to be a SAFE place. Please give yourself enough time to get to school, to wait in line, and to practice the drop off line etiquette. We ask that vehicles pull forward as much as possible, have children exit quickly and safely, and then continue to exit the parking lot. The pull through lane is for cars who are going to pull through to the parking lot and/or designated parking spaces. Please use the lanes accordingly. In reference to the crosswalks, please be patient, as our students who are walking or crossing have the right of way. Our faculty works hard to ensure they're crossing safely, so please make sure to give them a polite and friendly wave for doing everything they can for our students. Thank you all for your help with this and Happy Friday Eve!
PTA sponsored clubs have been a HUGE success this year. Students are loving them. Please consider joining our outstanding group of PTA parents to make sure they can keep the clubs on the calendar for next year. If you have an interest in sports, science, games, etc., and can contribute some time to help our students develop their skills outside of the classroom, then this would be the perfect opportunity. More information about clubs will be shared at upcoming PTA meetings.

Green Ribbon Safety week has been going great! We loved having Santaquin Police Department, Fire Department, and EMS visit our school to talk about all things safety. And we have loved seeing students participate in spirit days. Tomorrow, Thursday, November 21st, students should wear yellow for pedestrian safety, and Friday is school colors or school swag for celebrating unity and spreading kindness day. What a fun week before a fun break for Thanksgiving!
Our PTA has organized a Green Ribbon Safety Week! Each day will be a different focus on safety, including visits from our local police and fire departments! Show some school spirit by wearing the colors each day, and wear school shirts or school colors on Friday to celebrate unity and spread kindness. It is going to be a fun and informative week for students, teachers, and parents! #greenribbonsafetyweek ##neboschooldistrict #santaquinelementary
Come support Santaquin Elementary Spirit Night at Chubby's Neighborhood Cafe in Payson, tonight, November 12th! They will donate a percentage of sales to our PTA 😊
Red Ribbon Day was FUN and full of activities! The students and faculty wore "silly red threads", there was a coloring contest to help kids get creative about the importance of being drug free and how to spread kindness, and they signed a banner in the hall to pledge to live a healthy, drug free life. We love fun, fulfilling, important days together at Santaquin! ❤️
Some of the first graders in Mrs. Howard's art class learned that letters are LINES and created beautiful alphabet art!
