Student Council Service Project - Treasures for Treats

Our Student Council worked very hard to collect donations for a service project. Small activity kits were collected for children who spend time in the hospital. Small toys, crayons, stickers, toy cars, paper, coloring books, and other items were collected to make kits for these children in need. Over 100 activity kits were presented to the staff at the hospital. The activity was well received by the folks at UVRMC and was documented in the Daily Herald Newspaper.

 

School Community Council Election Results

We want to congratulate Soya Leslie and Marisa Jensen as the newest members of the School Community Council at Spring Creek. All of us look forward to working with them.

Our next School Community Council Meeting will be held in August. More information will be coming at a later date.

We would like to thank Bill Cope and Samara Hines for their service on the School Community Council. Each of them has given many hours of service and shared their wisdom to make our school even better.

Spring Creek Choir Performance

 

Our wonderful choir performed for the last time last night. This was their 5th performance in the past few weeks. Students performed a variety of songs and were recognized for all of their efforts. The choir sang at a city wide concert, at a school assembly, and as a service to patrons of two local care facilities before their final performacne last night. The music was amazing and each student performed remarkably. Congratulations to the choir!

 

Reading and Worms Assembly

After a 6 week reading contest Spring Creek students had the chance to participate in an assembly to recognize winners from each grade level and to watch Mr. Sites, Mrs. Bringhurst, and Mrs. Emero eat fried worms. All students in the school participated in the competition and just under half of the student body exceeded their goals.

 

As a result worms were fried, seasoned, and then eaten in front of the whole student body. YUCK!

 

A special thanks goes out to Questar Gas for a generous contribution that made it possible for prizes, t-shirts, and activities for all of the students.

 

The event was profiled in the Daily Herald News Paper and will be televised at a later date on Provo Channel 17.

ATTENTION PARENTS OF SIXTH GRADERS!!

Effective May 7, 2007, a student entering the 7th grade must have proof of receiving the following immunizations:
3 Hepatitis B
1 Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (Tdap) booster*
1 Varicella - proof of previous history of disease is acceptable**
This is in addition to other immunizations which should have already been completed (i.e. MMR, Polio).
*Previously the Td vaccine was required. However, the Td vaccine can be given to satisfy the Tdap requirement.
**If a student is 13+ years of age, two doses of Varicella vaccine should be given at least four weeks apart.
Additionally, all Utah students, kindergarten through grade 12, are now required to have two doses of the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine, rather one dose of the MMR and one additional dose of the measles vaccine.
Our school will be having a FUN competition with prizes and drawings for all students who get their immunizations and bring the record to school!
LOOK FOR MORE INFORMATION IN FEBRUARY!!

 

 

Attention! OS X available now, which includes Safari, iPhoto, iMovie, and iTunes Computers for Sale! Computers for sale- Spring Creek has a limited number of Apple iMac computers for sale. They are an all-in-one unit, with the monitor, CD Drive and processor in one unit and were manufactured in about 2000-2001. They have an indigo/blue case and most were recently pulled from classrooms as newer models became available. These are one of the most reliable computers Apple has built and did have OS 10.4 (Tiger) on them but the software has been restored to the older OS9 operating system that the computers were originally shipped with. Important update: We have just received authorization and disks to install OS 10.2, which means that now these computers will have Safari to access the internet, plus the Apple software iPhoto, iTunes and iMovie. Other software includes iChat, Quicktime, Mail and many other features that make the Apple OS X operating system so outstanding. Each computer comes with the keyboard, mouse, power cord and 3 software restore disks. All computers have been verified to work but come as is, with no warranty or technical support. We would like to make them available to patrons of Spring Creek only, as long as supplies last, and will limit them to one per family. The price will be $30 each. We also have a limited number of CDROMs that will run on these machines available for $1 each. Please email the school at gaylenel@provo.edu to arrange for purchase. Additional Surplus Items   We've identified some additional items that are surplus, such as computer monitors, Keyboarding Instructors and other electronic equipment. Click here to see additional items. We may be adding more items for the next week or so

The Tale of Despereaux

The City of Provo and Provo City School District have partnered once again to promote a city-wide reading activity. The Provo Reads Project has selected Kate DiCamillo's book, "The Tale of Despereaux" for this year. Everyone is encouraged to read this wonderful tale about a mouse who discovers himself and his fondness for humans, especially Princess Pea.

All of the students at Spring Creek are participating in this wonderful event individually or as a classroom activity. As an incentive, some classes even earn a "soup" reward for finishing this wonderful book.

We encourage all parents, siblings, and everyone else to read this wonderful tale.
