Oquirrh Hills elementary students are learning about other countries, as well as various kinds of careers and hobbies through a program in cultural enrichment. Our committee is trying to use the program to involve the community at large, to connect the needs of teachers and patrons talents and interests for the benefit of the students, explained spokesman Rose Marie West. A survey was sent to patrons asking that they indicate any area of d or special talent, expertise knowledge, she explained. It is used in making connection between teachers and community members interested in participating in school activities. The results are amazing, Mrs. West remarked. We were seeking help for a science class and discovered a local woman who had a large collection of mollusks. We would never have known about her except for the survey. The shell collection was shown to students along with a discussion of mollusks and proved a valuable resource. Persons in the community have been most helpful, she said. Participation has included ukulele lessons, help with computers, a volleyball clinic and first aid classes. So many parents work today, it is hard for them to find time to share with their child in school. We have found by planning ahead, a parent can often arrange a few hours off work to visit a class, or present an assembly, sharing their talent or vocation with the children. Organizations and businesses have also proven very helpful, said Mrs. West. The Humane Society has a presentation on animal care which is available in forms suited to groups from kindergarten through high school, she noted. Businesses will often arrange for student groups to visit and tour their establishments. Jerry Hansen of Hogle Zoo brought a few quail eggs to the school. The children are watching carefully as they develop in an incubator and have promised to take notes of the colors of the chicks as eggs, they emerge from the to assist in a zoo project. The students are also watching chicken eggs hatch. The difference in size of the chicks, and the eggs, adds interest to science, she noted. Several people have assisted in presenting musical programs at the school. They became so interested they have formed a permanent group and present programs in various areas, she added. one-inc- h Western Gardens presented a program on plant life to students. Other programs have included Officer Utahs The Pushcart traveling play, War, Smokey the Bear, a childrens ballet performance and Friendly, the University of Kids On The Block program handicapped persons and their being more like than unlike the normal students. the on Cultural enrichment assemblies are now being offered, featuring various countries. Representatives of the Utah Arts Council have set up a display in the school of pictures drawn by students in Salt Lakes sister city in Japan, and an assembly on the Orient will be presented by Grace Ashiada. Evie Williams will direct an assembly on the American Indians, Rachel Palacios on the Spanish countries and Mr. Kinikini a program on Polynesia. There are children from many ethnic backgrounds in every school now and it is to (heir benefit to learn about these people and countries, to learn they are so alike in many ways and to appreciate and enjoy each other, Mrs. West remarked. Dr. Paul Ross, Granite School District Multicultural Center, has been of assistance in locating speakers, she said. Oquirrh Hills has a super program and we hope to encourage other schools to use similar concepts next year, said Dr. Ross.

This makes children from other cultures feel more secure as they see persons from their own background performing and being well received in their school. Tensions are reduced, children of all cultures learn to accept themselves and each other. They become better students and get along better, he observed. The program also shows real commitment irom parents and great support from the PTA. We are hoping to develop more interest among members of the community and invite anyone interested in sharing their time and interests with the students to contact us. We hope to have listings available to teachers of persons available to them. We feel the program is well worth the effort and a real benefit to our students, she concluded.
