Bringing the Best out of History

Why should I learn about history? December 21st the English and History classes went to the Peteetneet museum to learn about the local area. From the Train room to the Western Room to lunch time entertainment, who knew junior high students had so much interest in the past?

“it was pretty sweet, it was really fun to go & see the place where my mom went to high school for 2 years.  plus,  I’m pretty sure I saw an original uncle Sam "I want you poster" which was really cool.” Garrett Anderson

The train room was a big favorite:

“my favorite part of the field trip was the trains probably because it was not a new toy and they were old and small and it looked like a real village” Taggert Argyle “they set up a little scavenger hunt.  I just thought it was so cool” Breanna Johnson “There were some little trains the size of my fingernail going around and around. It was so cute!” Dorothy Thomas “It was really cool because of all the small details that it had.” James Levie “It was really cool and the models were super small and looked hard to set up.” Parker Roden “The reason he (one old guy) did it was to teach kids and parents how the towns around Peteetneet work and to show the Orem train track station.” Dawson Wood “it looked like the guy that built it took a lot of time on it and it looked so cool with the little trains going around the track.” Jarrett Parkinson “The reason why I liked the train room is because there was so much detail” Xander Brown “it was a little city with a little train and little people, it was amazing” Madeline Lawrence “The trains were so cool because they could haul a lot of load.” Mason Melander “My favorite of the Train show was that all the trains were hand made.” Crew Elton “There were tons of intricate designs on the tiny buildings.  If you looked hard enough that might have even said what company they were such as Texaco.” Nathan Strassburg “there was a little city and on one side of the city there was a train that ran through it.” Nick Shumway “It (train room) had small cars and little people so it made it look like a real city.” Daniel Lamb

“The best part of my field trip to Peteetneet was the tour. The school had many uses so it had a lot of history to learn about. I had a fun time and would go there again anytime someone asked.That has been the best school day so far that I've had.” William Hansbrow

“I thought that was pretty fun because we were just walking around learning about all of the old school supplies, clothing, and household items.” Sophie McCann

The Western Room lassoed many people’s attention:

“The best part of my field trip was going down stairs and looking around the basement at all the western stuff. I liked learning about all the legendary cowboys and learning that we have 3 world champs here in Payson.” Ashley Cahoon “The best was the western room. Because it was super cool with all of the saddle, there was a white saddle.There was a super cool life sized fake horse. It also had a place where people in the olden days made horse shoes.” Maleah Teloroli “There were lots of pictures and horse sculptures. It was dedicated to a trick roper, he would go around the world and be in rodeos. I thought that it was super cool.” Olivia Andrus “There was a lot of cool information about the wild wilderness and horses and rodeo champions. Someday I want to be in a rodeo championship. Also I love learning more about horses and rodeo champions.” Conrad Andersen “The Best part about our field trip was the lesson we learned when we went into the building. It was kind of fun to learn about Lee Staheli and his trick and stuff that he did on his horse and with his lasso.“ Kameryn Hayes “the cowboy room or the freedom room where there was guns and swords and battle clothing and also the bullets and the old war planes that crashed.” Jack Guest“​The best part of my field trip to Peteetneet was the cowboy room. My grandpa was a big cowboy” Jocelyn Elder

There was Fun, Entertainment and Food as the students gathered together.

“The best part of my field trip to Peteetneet was when we went into the auditorium. Mr. Winget gave us so much pizza and donuts. It was nice cause we got to sit down and watch someone perform on stage” Brett Bailey “The best part of my field trip to Peteetneet was the pizza, and  I also liked all the performances during lunch.” Alexis Degelbeck“The end of of the field trip when  there were performances by two people. One of them was a ninth grader from our school that played the guitar and sang at the same time!” Justin Cook “The best part of my field trip to Peteetneet was the entertainment at the end with songs and musical pieces because it was super fun” Trevan Freeman “One of the best parts of my field trip to Peteetneet was when we all got together in the cafeteria and sang and eat and had lots of fun together.  I really liked this part because it seemed like we were all a family/community having fun and celebrating Christmas together.” Nicole Burk “My favorite part about peteetneet is going with my friends and learning more about the history of the museum that I didn't know about.” Jentrie O’Bannon

The Freedom Room Helped the students remember how this land became the “Land of the Free.”

“I liked when my leader was a retired veteran and we went to the "war room" and he told us about what everything meant, and he told stories about them.” Halle Hopkins “All of Peteetneet was really cool, but the Freedom Room was by far the coolest.” Stephen Strong “My favorite part of my field trip to Peteetneet was the freedom room.

There were so many memories that the local history will be a part of our students.

In the basement there was a lot of rooms there was one room that had Indian photos” Kaily Gull “The best part of the field trip to Peteetneet was probably the feel of the school. When I first walked in the school, I was amazed” Nicole Stone “My favorite part about peteetneet is going with my friends and learning more about the history of the museum that I didn't know about.” Jentrie O’Bannon “The best part about the field trip was when we learned about when Peteetneet was a elementary school, and about the teacher that had worked there.
