Dear Parents,
It was super cold today and we had indoor recesses for both recesses. It’s looking like it will still be super cold tomorrow. If we do get to 22 degrees, we’ll have an outside recess. Some 4th graders were begging me to go outside today!

We have some 5th grade students who will be advancing to the regional science fair. It’s at the University of Utah– Science and Engineering Fair (USEF)– in March. Congratulations to:
Maya Martin, Kendall Mitchell, Sierra Mitchell “Color vs. Flavor”
