By 1965, the report estimated, there will be about 6,800 school age children in the area who will require 226 classrooms to house them. At present, there are 108 classrooms in , the four elementary schools and one junior high school in the area into which 4,500 are squeezed and an additional 300 1 7 years olds attend Granger High School. With 10 to 12 new classrooms planned at Keams Jr. High in the next few months and 30 to 32 possible within a year or two, this still leaves the total short by 76 or about four schools, stated the report. And, by 1965, there will be 1,400 children of high school age, which means that by then Keams could use two new elementary schools, two junior high schools and a senior high school.

We are faced with the probability of double sessions this Fall. As Ted Lewis would say, Is everybody happy? According to popular theory, one of the goals of public education is to make citizens aware of their responsibilities in a free society. Does the inadequate response of many Kearns citizens to the Community Development program indicate that this particular goal has not been achieved by the schools which educated our adult population? If so, do you feel inadequate education for citizenship was in any way due to financial inadequacies of the school programs in their youth? What concrete recommendations would you propose for Delegate Assembly action on the proposals raised in this report? Fourth Graders Learn About Electricity! There is nothing quite so wonderful as to see a fourth grade class learn about the many wonders of the scientific world of today. As these students unlock the secret s, you can see in their expectant faces the joy of knowing. This was the case in our class as we studied electricity. To start the ball rolling, we made an electric city of Oquirrh Hills area. The materials we used consisted of milk cartons, wood, cardboard and wire. Students were assigned to different areas around the school. Their jor was to gather as many facts as they could about the topography of the land. Also included in this was the street light locations and color of each house. This project was completed very successfully. Other groups were assigned to set up experiments to show the entire school what we were doing. Before starting the experiments, diagrams were made of circuits to explain the experiment. Some of the experiments shown were the electromagnet, electric doorbell, electric light, and telegraph sets which were located in different parts of the room so they could send coded messages to each other. The students wanted to cut open some dry cell batteries. Each student took his turn to see what makes dry cells work. Then a chart was made to show the other grades. As the other grades came to see the project, each student was working with his project and took turns explaining to the visitors how electricity worked. It was a real thrill to end the projects with an exciting field trip to the Gadsby Plant in Salt Lake City. Here we saw what makes a real city light up at night and the many other devices which make electricity a very interesting unit to study. |
