Fairview Elementary
Wednesday, Feb. 22 was round one of The Battle of the Books! This involved fourth, fifth and sixth-grade students. Two groups of winners from each grade will move onto the finals, which will be held on March 3. Special thanks to the PTA and Trine Huntington for organizing this great learning opportunity for our students.
Fairview Elementary is holding a food drive in conjunction with the North Sanpete High School Student Government. Please bring non-perishable food items to donate. The class that collects the most food will win a party with the North Sanpete High School Student Government. Suggested donations include canned soups, tuna, fruit, chili, vegetable, boxed meals, cereal, peanut butter, pasta, rice and jello. The Food Drive runs Feb. 16 until March 3.
The PTA has a fun-filled week planned for the students. They will celebrate Literacy Week Feb. 27-March 3. March 2 is Dr. Seuss’s birthday—what better way to celebrate than to read? Did you know Dr. Seuss would be 113 this year? While he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in the pages of his books. He forever changed the way children’s books were written and continues to inspire generations. The school will have a different activity each day.

- Wednesday – Muffin Morning 7:45-8:15 a.m. Come to school with your student and enjoy a muffin and some fun books to read. You can bring your own books, or we will have some at the school.
- Thursday – Seuss’s Birthday. It’s also Spring Picture Day, so be sure to dress your best.
- Friday – Storytelling Hour. Battle of the Books Finals.
National School Breakfast Week is coming March 6-10. A time to celebrate school breakfast and remind parents, students and staff of the importance of eating a healthy breakfast every day. We will be sending home a note next week about this. We have amazing cooks at our school that work hard to provide a healthy and delicious breakfast for our students.
Ephraim Middle School
Ephraim Middle School had College Awareness Week last week, Feb. 21-24. In each homeroom teachers shared some of their college experiences. On Wednesday, the eighth graders visited the high school to learn about Career and Technical Education classes. Students also attended an assembly with speaker Earl Kauffman, a former BYU football player. An injury squashed Kauffman’s dream of playing in the NFL. He shared how important getting that college education turned out to be.
