She is proud of a playground CHERYL ARCHIBALD Review Staff CLEARFIELD Marilyn Dahl, Layton, received her college degree in education 20 years after she graduated from high d. school. When her oldest son left for an LDS mission and her youngest daughter started kindergarten she entered her first year as an elementary school teacher. Now, thirteen years later, Mrs. Dahl is school principal at South Clearfield Elementary, her first year in that capacity. There is only one other woman principal in north Davis County. Mrs. Dahl has about 30 employees under her supervision, and 400 school children under her watchful eye. I try to spend as much time as I can in the classrooms, she says. She has set a goal of hearing ev program that has kids playing sports and games under a four-hoplayground supervisor. And she is excited about the goody cards incentives for good behavior. Children who exhibit in and behavior at school and at home get a goody card to take home with a detachable coupon to put in a box for a drawing at a special "enrichment activity each quarter. An assembly is held for the ur self-contr- ol goody card recipients. "Each teacher; has the right to teach and pupils have the right to learn." is her philosophy. She stresses a positive atmosphere and uses assertive discipline in the school. Her husband, Weston, her high school sweetheart at Jordan High School, thinks having a principal for a wife is great. He helps her out at home because he feels she had the desire to go into education. It's what she wants, he says. Mrs. Dahl stayed home with her family for years before she took a job with the IRS. That was when she decided she wanted to go back to college and get a degree in elementary education. I didn't w'ant that for the rest of my life $o (in 1970) I went back to schooj.After I got going, I just loved it.'! she says. She received her first degree from Weber State and her Mas ter's from Utah State while working with children with special , problems. While her children were growing up, the family also took 'in three children from the LDS Indi; ' an Placement Program. Of her own four boys, two are chiropractors, one is an engineer and one is a senior at Layton I High School. Her oldest daughter is in Indiana on an LDS mission and her n youngest is a sophomore at Ldy-to- High. . ! Her kids think its neat to have a school principal for a mother. Wendee, her youngest, surprises her friends by calling her mom and asking to speak to the prin- cipal, Mrs. Dahl says. Although she has found that being a principal is a tough jpb she still maintains a bright lout-looI'm a very positive petscjn. k. i Davis School District Sets Lunch Menus Friday, April carrot sticks, rolls, apple crisp wtopping, milk. Choice High School: Burger bar, salad line. Choice Students were a bit short of warm sunny weather but had plenty of strong wind for the fifth grade kite flying extravaganza at Doxey Elementary School. It was a great way to welcome spring and spend a little extra time outside, even if the air still carried the chill of winter. There were all shapes and sizes, with homemade creations and some sure flyers. Gary Gillespie, fifth grade teacher, and his students planned the activity which included a contest, following a study on weath-eSUNSET store-boug- ht r. - The students studied about wind and air pressure, he said, and we thought this would be a good way to test their theories and what they learned about the wind. The students tried to design a kite that would fly the longest and the highest and many of them quickly discovered the importance of the tail of their kite when they tried to fly it. Kites swooped and dipped all over the schoolyard. Strings tangled and others took alarming nose dives and crashed into the ground. Some never flew at all. But the students remained enthusiastic and smiling and tried again and again to get their kites in the air, running and shouting to each other with helpful suggestions and directions. Angie Appleby sat on the ground desperately trying to untangle an impossible length of string after her kite lost the lift of the wind before she could wind in the string. But, in a matter of minutes she was off again to get her kite in the air. Junior High: Ham- burger Wednesday, April 10: Choice High School: Burger bar, salad line.
