September 2022

Our 7th grade students got to see the history in their own backyard, historic markers, a dugout, restored cabins, and numerous artifacts from history. It was a beautiful day and the students enjoyed our .guides from the Hughes family at the Jones-Hughes Pioneer Park. Collected in the yard were also a windmill, a wooden phone box, an outhouse, a granary, a pump house and even a bright teal and yellow box wagon sitting beside a peeling lime green shepherd wagon. Students also got to try out a selection of authentic pioneer toys. 

Students don't realize how lucky they are to have a cycling class. It's great to see the students out having fun and being safe.

Students and teacher love Wednesday Rattler Time! Students have time to get help with missing work or retakes and when finished can participate in a variety of enrichment activities! 

Celebration! Our Respect Pod was the spirit week dress up champions. The pod broke out into R-E-S-P-E-C-T cheers and were rewarded with ice cream sandwiches! 

Students in Mrs. Mortensen's class have turned their daily Happiness Hunt into a beautiful wall of gratitude. 

Utah Studies students got to hear from one of our parents, Cameron Little Wolf Gilmore, who is Navajo. He shared elements of Navajo culture including the concept of wellness know as Hozho, balance of body, mind, and spirt. 

Students in Utah Studies got to view culture cases from BYU. Artifacts are from various Great Basin cultures, many ancient, all “real.” Artifacts included early stone hand tools, arrowheads, drums, flute, cradleboard, baskets, and even a reed duck decoy. Students saw all the artifacts and experienced Native music in the “museum” day.

 

Students showed their Don pride today, dressing in red and black or SFHS gear!
