Larsen Elementary recently held their annual Book Fair sponsored by the PTA. Students and teachers had the wonderful opportunity to preview and purchase books not only for themselves but for their classroom libraries as well.
Some of the students’ favorite books included: “Junie B. Jones”, "Diary of a Whimpy Kid", “Star Wars”, "Fancy Nancy", “Ramona The Pest”, and “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief”.
On a ghostly and ghastly Friday October 22 2010, Larsen Elementary held their annual Fall Halloween carnival. Teachers, spooks, students and their families enjoyed a
fun evening filled with lots of games, prizes, spook alleys, bouncey houses, a silent auction, yummy food and treats and a rock climbing wall.
The kindergarten students at Larsen Elementary invited special guests to school - their grandparents.
Grandparents from as far as Idaho and Lake Powell, as well as grandparents from just down the street came to school for a short program and to share a lunch with their favorite kindergarteners.
A very big thank you for all of our special visitors who came from near and far!
The last week of September Larsen Elementary held a great health and safety week. On walk to school day, the Maple Mountain High School Cross Country team came and helped encourage kids to use the cross walks and handed out granola bar snacks. During the week, the kids took part in our challenge to walk 5,000 laps as a school. Kids earned tickets for
On September 24, 2010, Larsen Elementary Kindergarten traveled down to Rowley’s South Ridge Farms in Santaquin or more widely known as the “Big Red Barn.” The kids were taken on a hayride out to the big orchards where each one of the students were able to pick and eat a yummy peach and apple. After picking and eating their fruit they rode out to the great pumpkin patch and picked a pumpkin to take back to their classrooms. It was a great beginning to the Fall season. Thank you South Ridge Farms.
September 20th, 2010, Larsen students are now a little "smarter" than before. Students had a fun assembly where they were instructed by Netsmartz on computer and internet safety. Children got to watch a fun video and they learned about using the internet and what are the do's and don'ts on giving out information over the internet.
September 17th, 3rd grade classes at Larsen Elementary enjoyed a nature
field trip up Provo Canyon and to the BYU Bean Museum. On the Provo River Trail, they discovered bits of nature, like rocks, leaves, and pine cones.
At the museum they got to see a live tortoise, lizard, and a snake, along with all the many stuffed animals throughout the museum. On the bus ride home they enjoyed singing songs.
On Thursday September 16th, 4th grade students from Larsen Elementary enjoyed a fun filled day out at Camp Floyd. On our field trip to Camp Floyd the fourth graders made bricks and candles, went to pioneer school, drilled with the army and toured a museum. We also played pony express games and learned about the events that led up to the US Army marching to Utah. It was a great experience to travel back in time.
For Wesley Cope's Eagle Scout project, Welsey painted a large mural of the United States on the asphalt on the East side Larsen Elementary's playground. Wesley Cope's project has not only brightened up Larsen Elementary's playground, but provides a great learning resource as well. We appreciate Wesley and all those who volunteered hours and supplies to help with this fun project that students will enjoy for years to come.
Larsen Elementary students returned to school this year with a brand new addition to their playground. All of the students have enjoyed the new structure and the bright colors have made a great addition to the school. Thank you Nebo School District.
