In our Montessori environment we have a healthy mid-morning snack each day.

Please sign up for at least two weeks throughout the school year. If each family provides snack for two separate weeks then we should have enough snack for all the students to enjoy each day.

Please send in enough snack for the whole week on Monday morning with your child. We have a refrigerator in the classroom the students can store any snack food for the week. This is a very important part of the school day.

Please only send healthy snacks. Some examples of healthy snacks are: fruits, vegetables, crackers and cheese, yogurt, applesauce, chips and salsa. If you send something like chips and salsa or applesauce please also send little cups for the students to put the salsa or applesauce in. Thank you so much for helping our classroom with snack for the year.

November 24th is the annual Ogden Electric Lights Parade. Our school will be represented and the marketing committee has come up with a float that will represent MMA.

We are looking for students from MMA who would like to be part of our parade! The meeting place will be in front of the Ogden Temple. The parade starts promptly at 5:30pm. The floats will be lined up at 5pm.

Students 12 years and you get must ride in the trailer or truck. If you are over the age of 12 then you may walk next to the float. Students who ride or walk will be carrying white peace signs or holding tea lights.

If your child would like to be a part of the parade then we will have waivers to sign in front of the temple.

The parade starts on 22nd and Washington and then ends at 27th. My advice would be for our MMA parents whose child(ren) are in the parade park towards the end of the parade so when we are done you can find your child.

We have some, but if your child would like to wear glow necklaces and bracelets during the parade we highly suggest the more the better! (It is a light parade!) the glow wear is also our symbol to honor Troy and Molly Cox.

If you have any questions you can ask Autumn in the office or me- Ms. Kaley. I will do my best to answer anything I know.

STEM week is January 14-18, which is still two months away, but I want to get everyone thinking about potential projects over the break.

For 6th graders, this means Science Fair – This home project is due on January 11th, the Science Fair is on the 16th.  The sixth graders proposal is due on Tuesday November 27th. 

For 5th graders, this means Invention Convention – This home project is due on January 9th, the students will display their projects at the front of the building on the 14th or 15th.  I will let you know the specific date when this event gets closer.

For 4th graders, this means an in-house STEM project.

6th and 5th grade students came home with some information about their projects on Tuesday.  The digital copies can be found here and on the appropriate blog tabs.

4th graders will be getting more information about their home project after Thanksgiving Break.

Your children should have brought home a red paper with all of the information for our next field trip.  This field trip is on November 27th.  The permission slips have all been filled out, the paper I sent home was just for your information.  Ms. Heidi has e-mailed all of you, if you haven’t heard from her please let me know.  Please respond to Heidi’s e-mail if you can drive or chaperone for this field trip.

Thank you!

The cultural festival is TOMORROW, Friday and you are absolutely welcome to attend and tour the school with your child.

We will be having a set break schedule to ensure that students are with their projects for the majority of the time.  Please do not take your child from their project until it is their break, and help them return to their project on time.  The schedule of breaks looks like this:
