Joy Prior, Sarah Johnson, Katy Dallon, and Sharisa Nay visited East Meadows, and talked with all of the young honor students about membership on a high school level. There was a question and answer session, in which many topics such as GPA, club memberships, favorite classes, and Honor Society activities and benefits were discussed. East Meadows would like to thank Ann Dart for referring such great examples, and the students who shared there time. Pictured, left to right, are Joy Prior, Sarah Johnson, Katy Dallon, and Sharisa Nay. a position she has held for ten years. A love for helping people learn is what brought Katrina to the teaching field and what keeps her going is that love, along with the "ah-ha" moments. She thoroughly enjoys watching students hit that point of understanding. She said, "That is what makes it all worth while." One co-worker said, "Katrina is awesome! She has all kinds of resources and is very willing to share them. She knows what she is doing!" Spanish Fork Jr. High LEPRECHAUNS ON THE LOOSE: East Meadows first-grade students made leprechaun traps and attempted to catch one of the elusive creatures for St. Patrick's Day! Although none of the students were successful this year, many of them missed by a mere fraction. Gold dust and tiny footprints were left behind, suggesting that the tiny creatures were still one step ahead. Maybe next year!

The Civil War began and ended in April 1861 and ended in April 1865. Thirty students took part in creating the mural sections to complete to project. Millman looks forward to adding to the mural project each year with other soldiers and a battle scene of Gettysburg. The history department appreciates the efforts and talents of these students and wishes to thank them. The mural has generated a great deal of interest in the north hall. It's time again for SBO dares. Student Body Officers are chosen to have a certain dare, for them individually, that they must Carry out. But they don't have to do the dare if they raise a certain amount of money, which is collected from the students. The money goes to the big fundraiser done every year. If students have a dare idea, they can write it down and put it in the suggestion box in the front office. The dares can be almost anything crazy and embarrassing that students would want to see their SBOs do. These exclude girls cutting their hair and anything that will threat- en someone's safety or health. Some examples of some SBO dares done in the past include: shaving half their body (boy), crawling on hands and knees for days, being duct taped to the wall during a dance, being hand-cuffed to mom during a dance, getting their first kiss in front of everyone, eating a block of cheese.
