Show -NEWS- Spanish Fork Salem gets enrichment Covering what matters most B6 • WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 2008 The Nebo School Board was delighted to hear from Salem Elementary this past board, meeting. Mr. Ken VanAusdal introduced the school's enrichment program for third through sixth grade students. Over the last two years, school patrons and faculty members have endeavored to increase the amount of time students participate in the aits. This goal has lead to the development of an enrichment program. During a school year, students in third through sixth grades will participate in three different enrichment classes. Each rotation is ten weeks long. The students self-select classes according to their interests. Some of the courses include journalism, piano, sign language, creepy crawlers, drama, Hebrew, Spanish, story telling, strategy and logic, guitar, and ukulele classes. One of the most popular courses is the guitar class. Over 170 students have taken guitar lessons from Mr. Condie. A few students from Mr. Condie's guitar class enthralled the board and audience with their music skill. This enrichment program has been supported through Trustland funds and PTA matching funds. The Nebo Education Foundation also provided over $1,000 towards the purchase of 20 guitars for the enrichment program.

Landmark needs donations Courtesy photos BUNNIES: Brockbank Elementary kindergarten students celebrated Easter and Spring with several educational and fun activities. One of their activities included making a bunny hat. Pictured showing off their hats are Mrs. Kariuki's afternoon kindergarten class. As Landmark High School (LHS) in Spanish Fork prepares to move into the new school during the break between third and fourth- terms, a call goes out to all alumni and friends of LHS to help finish raising the money needed for the Dragon Sculpture that is installed in the front entry way of the new school. Joe Kelly, principal of LHS, invites all alumni and friends to help raise the remaining $1,500 to reach our goal of $3,000. With the help of the student body and several anonymous donors we have raised half the cost. The dragon sculpture was created by former student, Paul Bawden, who graduated from LHS in 2006 and is currently serving in the US Marines. "The sculpture is created in the European style of dragons," Bawden said. Bawden has spent many hours creating this wonderful sculpture. The dragon sculpture will always stand as a legacy of Paul Bawden *s change over the years he attended LHS. Students, alumni, and friends of LHS are encouraged fo make a donation toward the sculpture, to help make it their own. If you would like to make a donation to the Landmark High School Dragon please contact Lana Hiskey with the Nebo Education Foundation for your tax free donation. She can be reached at Lana.Hiskey@nebo.edu, or 354-7400.
