Paper Crane Delivery

Submitted by mike.sorensen on

In the spring our LIA class was in charge of our Make-a-Wish week which included a lot. We had a dance, we had an assembly, and we raised a lot of money for our wish child Ryver. Part of what was done was the making of a thousand paper cranes that we hung in the hall to honor her. Today our LIA students were able to deliver those cranes to Ryver at her home. It was a great day!

We celebrated all the good that Mrs. Olsen has done for our school last week. She is moving on to Mt. Nebo Jr High next year to do more great things. She has built an amazing library during her years here at Diamond Fork. It is a place where students come each and everyday to do amazing things. She is kind, considerate, and knows more about books than anyone we have ever met. Thank You Mrs. Olsen! We will miss you here at Diamond Fork and know that the students at Mt. Nebo are getting the best, good luck!
