Submitted by natalee.hansen on

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.

Submitted by natalee.hansen on

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.
