Friday April 20th, Larsen Elementary 3rd grade students blasted off to the Clarke Planetarium in Salt Lake City.   While we were at the planetarium we got to watch a very cool movie that taught us alot about the different planets and what each planet is made up of.  After exploring the Planetarium, discovering what clouds really feel like with the cloud machine and playing with the static electricity ball, we loaded the buses and shuttled down to Pleasant Grove where we landed and ate our sack lunches and

6th Grade students went on their spring fieldtrip to the Provo Reclamation center April 19, 2012.  They have studied microorganisms throughout the year. Students were able to see how the laboratory staff uses their knowledge of microbes to perform water quality tests. The 43-acre East Bay facility is designed to treat an average inflow of 15 million gallons of wastewater each day.  The lab performs about 550 individual tests per week in order to treat the wastewater and reduce impurities.

Larsen Elementary second grade classes were able to attend the Farm Field Days in Springville on April 4, 2012.  We learned about how important agriculture is to everyone.  We started off the day seeing how a sheep gets a hair cut.  Farmers like to call it sheering.  The sheep love to get rid of their heavy wool coat.

Angela Eckhardt, our wonderful Kindergarten teacher here at Larsen Elementary, is the recipient of the 2012 Crystal Apple Award.  This special award is given out to teachers who always go out of their way to provide friendship and help to our students and co-workers at our school.

Recently the Larsen after school 4-H program had some very pretty princess power in one of their 4-H classes.  Princesses was just one of the many fun classes held for the students to participate in.  The girls who took part in the princess class learned how to have better manners, make necklaces, create a wand, decorate mirrors and last but no least, all the girls got to dress up for the last day and break a pinata. The fun princess class was taught by Mrs. Kim Head and her daughter Aubree Head. WAY TO GO LEOPARDS!!

Larsen Elementary recently celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday with a very Seussical celebration.  Each class, Kindergarten through 6th grade memorized a Dr. Seuss poem and recited it in front of the entire student body during a special assembly held that morning.  Everyone did a wonderful job!

The rest of the school day was filled with more Dr. Seuss stories and reading fun.  Dr. Seuss would be proud of our Larsen Leopards!!  WAY TO GO LEOPARDS!!!
