Double sessions set for Manila and Cedar Ridge Elementaries It will become necessary for students at Manila and Cedar Ridge Elementaries to attend double sessions this coming fall, as Cedar Ridge will not be ready for occupancy for at least six weeks into the school year. According to Dr. Steven Baugh, Alpine District Superintendent, Superin-tendent, the double sessions provide pro-vide the least inconvenience for students: "We've examined all the alternatives and this appears ap-pears to be the most accommodating," accom-modating," he said, "obviously, New ThiN. f'' ( Spring Soft Stop ) NJPIayground Bark i. ...ft, ' - : ill PEA GRAVEL p.drri p onru Bulk: POND LINERS BRIDGES SHREDDED BARK WATER FALL PUMPS BENCHES TOP SOIL STEPPING STONES STATUES LAVA ROCKS TREE RINGS CAST ALUMINUM n S17FS A COmR.?

It is necessary to split the student bodies and their staffs at the beginning of the school year, so double sessions is the only way to accomplish the task. Hopefully, the students will be in their respective schools before the end of October." Under the double schedule, the school day for Manila Elementary would begin at 7:45 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. Cedar Ridge Elementary would start at 1 p.m. and conclude at 5:45 p.m. This would provide 4 12 hours of instruction time with 30 minutes for break and to eat The classes would be held at Manila Elementary School. Students from the Cedar Hills area would be bussed during the period.

Shadrach was a member of the Mormon Battalion and arrived ar-rived in Provo with his wife, Lucinda, on December 31, 1850. In the true pioneer spirit, they made the three-day trip from Salt Lake City in an open wagon in bitter cold weather. Shadrach brought in machinery to establish estab-lish a woolen mill, a blacksmith shop, and a foundry. He later built a sawmill on the South Fork of the Provo River and surveyed sur-veyed the Lake Bottom Canal, which runs through Provo today. Lucinda gave birth to 14 children. She crossed the plains three times, and was expecting a child on two of the trips. Shadrach married Lucinda's sister, Eliza, in 1852. She died in 1855, shortly after giving birth to her second child. Shadrach and Lucinda resided in Provo until their deaths in 1902 and 1917. They homes teaded a large ranch in Vineyard, Utah. The woodchuck belongs to the squirrel family. How can I help my child avoid summer boredom? Answer byj TomLee,USU Extension Family Life Specialist Summer offers a great time for children to play and explore at their own pace. But it can also turn into sitting and watching watch-ing too much TV, or hearing the all-too-familiar, 'What can I do? I'm bored." Though each child's needs are different, here are a few ideas for summer planning. Routine. As much as children want to be free of bedtimes bed-times and the deadlines of school, they need to have a routine. Having even just one scheduled event in the day gives them a reference point to work around. It is also a good idea to involved children in deciding the summer rules for chores, mealtimes, meal-times, and bedtimes. Lessons. Though being involved in-volved , in structural lessons, teams, or camps can work for some children, for others, being involved in community recrea-' recrea-' tion, scouts or 4-H can be a good ' way to help them explore their talents and interests. Whatever you decide, make sure children have plenty, of unstructured time to lie on the grass and look at the clouds. Too many commitments com-mitments can be stressful for both your children'and you. Reading. Include some reading in your plans for summer. sum-mer. Children who read several books over the summer return to school ready to pick up where they left off in the spring. Set ; some goals, read together, visit the library, or buy a few paperback paper-back editions of age-appropriate . children's books. . - 'Jobs. , Help children who want to start earning extra money find possibilities. They can help a neighbor with a home office stuff envelopes, or they can babysit, do yard care or other odd jobs for neighbors. Taking the lemonade stand one step further, children may find some other product or service to market on a regular basis. Family activities.
