Larsen Elementary held it's first ever dance festival yesterday. It was so fun to watch the kids perform their dances that they had been working so hard on as grade levels. We had a huge audience of parents and families watching as well. The staff even joined in the fun and danced. We can't wait for next years festival!
Field Day-We did it!! We not only reached our goal of reading one million minutes as a school, but we read over 1,250,000 minutes! We are so proud of the students and their dedication to reading at home this year. We applaud you as parents for encouraging the students to get their reading in every day. We know this has made a huge difference in their education and we could not be more excited about reaching our goal.
We would like to congratulate Haizley Daniels and Maddux Clark for receiving Certificates of Achievement in the track meet. Haizley got hers in the 200 meters and Maddux's was in the 50 meter dash. Way to go runners!
Larsen 5th graders were opportunity to participate in the Freedom Festival Hope of America. The following is from the Hope of America website:
“Hope of America” was created by Kathy MacDonald in 1995 with the support of America’s Freedom Festival in Provo, Utah. Each year nearly 8,000 elementary school children from 100+ schools ( including charter, private, and home schools) come together and present songs of Hope, Service, and Patriotism."
We are grateful that our 5th graders got to experience this patriotic event and were able to show respect to our country.
Our 5th graders participated in the Freedom Walk today to honor veterans from all branches of the military. Each student chose a family member or friend that has served or is currently serving our great country. They then wrote a report about their lives. Their reports were displayed on a banner for all to read.
The BYU folk dancing team came and visited Larsen! They taught us about different cultures and dances from all over the world. Their costumes were amazing too from the different countries. Thanks for the exciting assembly.
We wanted to announce Larsen Elementary's first ever dance festival will be held on Monday, May 16 at 1:30 PM. Parents and families are invited to come watch each grade level and staff perform their dances. It will be on the field on the East playground. We hope to see you all there!
Here are the Principal's 200 Club winners for the month of April. These students did some amazing things to receive a golden ticket to put in the drawing. Keep up the good work!
We wanted to thank our PTA and Larsen families for an amazing Teacher appreciation week! The PTA made us breakfast, lunch, treats, prizes, sidewalk pictures, movie night and even took over every class for 30 minutes so that teachers could have a longer lunch. We are so grateful for all their hard work and all the time they put into making Larsen a great place to be! We love our PTA!
Larsen Kindergarten-2nd grades all took a field trip to Hogle Zoo on Wednesday. The students were so excited about how active the polar bear, otters and elephants were that day. They learned about the animals and habitats of all different species. We had many parent helpers that day also to help keep all the kids where they were supposed to be. Thanks to everyone for helping make this field a success!
