Wood Turning is a fun 4H Class

Submitted by amy.huhtala on

Wood Turning is a 4-H class. It is taught by Mr. Roberts who is a really friendly and nice guy. In this class you learn how to make simple, fun things. This semester they are making key chains and pens. For the key chains they shape and put the designs in that they want. For the pens they do the same and then attach the other parts of the pen to the wood that they modeled. It’s a really awesome class and you make super fun stuff.

Mrs. Brooksby’s choir class is a fun way to practice singing and performing onstage. Auditions are with Mrs Brooksby if you are interested in joining. Wesley Baker, a choir student, said that he really enjoys choir because he likes to sing. He says, “Mrs. Brooksby is one of the best teachers, and we get to sing really cool songs.” He has been in choir for 2 years now, and he is highly likely to recommend choir to another student interested in joining. Booker Ward, another choir student, said that he likes choir because they have a day they can eat food in class..

History Coming to Life

Submitted by amy.huhtala on

Mr. Winget's Utah Studies class was greeted one day last week with the lights dimmed, a campfire burning (fake, of course), Native American music playing, and Native American artifacts all around the room. Today was the day that students presented projects they have been working on to display the culture of the early native inhabitants of Utah. The students had a wonderful time sharing what they have learned with their classmates and Mr. Winget has obviously taught them well.
