April 2018

Mark your calendars for May 16th at 6:00 PM for the Larsen Family Movie Night.  Our PTA is sponsoring this fun event in the lunchroom at the school.  More information will be coming.  Hope to see you all there!

This week at Larsen Elementary we are celebrating all the wonderful teachers and staff that work here during our "Teacher Appreciation Week".  Some very talented PTA members decorated the doors of each class thanking the teachers for making a difference.  We know Larsen has the best teachers and staff and we are grateful for all they do! We also have an awesome PTA that is putting on the celebrations all week.

Here are the following dates to remember for the grade level track meets at Spanish Fork High School:

April 24th-  3rd grade

May 1st-  4th grade

May 8th-  6th grade

May 15th- 5th grade

Remember to have your students wear good running shoes, bring sunscreen, water and lunch if they didn't order a school lunch.  Parents are welcome to go watch starting at approximately 9:30 AM.  There is an order of events that is followed and not scheduled times.

The "Cookie Monster" Underwater Robotics team from Larsen Elementary's Afterschool 4-H took second place in the open class division at the BYU Underwater Robotics Invitational. The team's club leader is Allan Wallace. Team members are Gian Pallavicini, Daniel Cooper and Liesel Hansen.

Mrs. Eckhardt was awarded Teacher of the Year for Larsen Elementary last night at the district board meeting. The following is what was read about her during the meeting:

“Angela creates a classroom environment where her students love to be with many hands-on activities for her students to learn and participate. She is a leader and advocate for students. Angela has provided an enriching 4H program for many years and has taught an Underwater Robotics club that competes. She is an incredible leader and advocate for students and staff.”

There will be a Getaway Today brochure coming home within the next week.  Getaway Today supports the Nebo Foundation,  which in turn,  provides grants to our schools.  If your planning a fun vacation look at their awesome prices and help support the Nebo Foundation. Thank you Getaway Today for all your support to our school district.

End of year testing has begun at Larsen Elementary!  We just wanted to give a few ideas that will help your students do their best on their testing:

*Each student should get plenty of sleep so they are well rested and ready to start the testing process. 

*Make sure that your child gets a balanced breakfast each morning.

*Please have your student arrive at school on time.

Thanks for all your help in making this testing process successful for your students!
