All together they collected 525 new and gently used stuffed animals for Project Teddy Bear. These will be given to children that are sick and going through some rough times.

Mrs. Eckhardts afternoon Kindergarten class had a special visitor come. Specialist Roberts, who's daughter Madaya is in that class, came and talked about what it is like serving in the Army. He has served in Texas and on two different tours in Iraq. He brought his uniform, helmet and pictures showing the places he had been protecting. Specialist Roberts told a story of a little boy that was kindergarten age that he helped. We at Larsen Elementary want to thank Specialist Roberts for his service and for visiting our school!!!
Larsen Elemetary 5th graders got the chance to go visit Olymipc Park in Park City this week. They had fun learning more about when the Olympics came to Utah in 2002. The students learned about many of the athletes that competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics and also the many different sports that were a part of it. Some 5th graders got to test out the bobsled and other equipment. Way to go 5th Graders!
Today we had the honor of having some veterans visit our school. One of them was our own Keir Scoubes who teaches 6th grade here at Larsen. The Veterans served during Vietnam, Korean War, Desert Storm and The War in Iraq. Larsen Elementary thanks all those who have fought for our freedoms and made our country the greatest place to live!
Larsen Elementary students sure had a lot of fun costumes this year on Halloween! All the students got to march in a parade around the school showing off their costumes to parents and friends. Each class was able to have a fun Halloween party full of games, prizes and of course candy! Thanks to all our PTA and parent volunteers that helped make our Halloween SPOOKTACULAR!
The reading reward for October was such a hit! The students played against the teachers in different "Minute to Win It" games. Our Kindergarten teachers did a great job putting this activity together. Our grand prize winner was Kaylee Knotts. She gets to choose from a bike, scooter or iPod shuffle. Congratulations students on all your great reading and expecially to Kaylee for winning the grand prize!
