The TYE Company from UVU presented "Jack and the Beanstalk" to the students at Larsen. It was a delightful musical that was actually written by a UVU student. The theater students at UVU perform a traveling play each semester for elementary schools. The role of Jack was performed by our own Mrs. Voss' son.
Larsen Elementary held it's annual spooky Halloween Parade. Students and teachers marched around showing all the parents and family their Halloween costumes. After the parade, the PTA helpers planned parties full of games, crafts and food for each class. Thank you to all who helped and made Halloween at Larsen a spooky day.
Larsen Elementary was transformed into Hogwarts for Halloween. When students walked in the door it was as if they had just walked into the halls of the magical school. It was so fun to see all the childrens faces look in amazement as they walked through the halls. Many of them were so excited to see characters from their favorite Harry Potter novels. They were even excited to see the man "who's name shall not be named." Happy Halloween from Hogwarts!
Larsen 4th and 6th graders and the unique opprotunity to visit the Jordanelle Dam and take a tour of the sight sponsored by CUWCD . Students were able to learn how they use water to create electricity. The Jordanelle Dam Hydropower plant is a green power source—it leaves no carbon footprint. Hydropower is one of the most efficient ways to generate energy. After touring the Dam the students were provided lunch and even got some prizes to take home. Thank you CUWCD for letting Larsen Elementary visit.
BYU students have been coming to teach the fifth graders about anatomy. So far they have learned about bones, muscles, the heart, and lungs. When the students were learning about the heart, they had the chance to touch a pig's heart and see what is inside.
It's that spooky time of year again and Larsen Elementary is getting ready for their annual Halloween Parade. It will be held on Halloween Day at 1:00 PM. The parade will start by the west playground and wind around the big tree out front. There are no weapons or masks permitted with costumes. Hope to see all you spooks there!
Just a reminder that picture retakes are tomorrow, October 24. Please send your old packets back if you want your students pictures retaken. Thanks!
Happy Principal's Week to Mrs. Thomas! Larsen Elementary is so lucky to have such an amazing woman as our principal. She is such a champion for students and wants every single one to suceed in their education. Mrs. Thomas makes sure that she gets to know each student by name and that they feel welcome and loved while at our school. One student was heard walking down the hall saying "Mrs. Thomas is so cool and she new my name." You will see her walking around in all of her different colored Converse shoes having fun with the students. Mrs.
