Dear Diamond Fork Parents,

The school year is fading and dreams of summer are upon us. We have some year end events planned to celebrate our successes. One of those activities is the Year End School Dance. This should be a fun time for students to gather together and celebrate another completed school year. Additionally, the school will be going to Lagoon on May 28th for our annual Lagoon Day.

African Drumming in World Geography

Submitted by alesha.lemmon on

Part of the Utah Core Curriculum for 9th grade World Geography is for students to evaluate and experience how culture influences the way people live in places and regions. One of the units that Mrs. Gardner and Miss Reese teach to help meet this standard is on World Music, and one of the lessons during this unit is for the students to have the opportunity to learn how to play the African drums.

Day Care Days

Submitted by alesha.lemmon on

Every year, Mrs. Annette Gardner hosts multiple Day Care Days (DCD) in line with the CTE Introduction Utah State Standards. DCD invites children from 2 to 5 years old to participation in the activity/assignment. The students plan in groups what they will do for the day with the children. 

When the children arrive, the student groups take time to introduce the children to the area and let them explore and familiarize themselves. Next, the children may participate in the planned activity. The students pay attention to each detail and plan age appropriate activities.

Latinos In Action Conference

Submitted by alesha.lemmon on

On Friday, March 27th, 1,600 Latinos In Action (LIA) students attended the 2015 LIA Conference at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. We had a lot of fun and so did the other schools in attendance. Being in a room filled with many other different kinds of Latino cultures made us feel like we were at home, like family. The hosts made us feel so comfortable. The dances and the older students inspired us.
