The Amelia Earhart Elementary Student Council is alive and well!

Our entire student body participates in activity planning and decision making every Wednesday as part of our Professional Learning Community Activities. This past month, they decided to do a service project that involves the entire school. They called their project "Pennies for Patients" and vowed to raise money for the leukemia and lymphoma society. Everyday, students contributed pennies and spare change to our school amount. Total donations were tracked by paper pennies that were posted around the hallways of our school. Student Council members wrote and delivered messages over the school intercom daily to remind students. The school participated by wearing red on "Red Blood Cell Day"; wearing a cape on "Captian Chemo Day"; wearing blue on "Platelet Day"; etc. By the time the service project ended, Amelia Earhart Aviators had raised $2,054.77 to donate towards curing blood cancer. Together we make a difference.

After School Programs Soar at Amelia Earhart

Great things are happening at Amelia Earhart Elementary.  Our before and after school programs are a huge success with 360 students participating in the various classes offered.  Most popular is early morning Choir with 96 participants. The Choir students performed a Christmas concert for the school and their families and are preparing for their spring concert. Other classes offered at the school include; Before and After School Homework Lab where students are offered assistance with their daily homework assignments from certified teachers and volunteers. American Sign Language students are learning a variety of signs including animals around the world and names of different things in our community.  The Art class is traveling around the world, they visited China to celebrate the Chinese New Year and learned how to write different Chinese symbols and are currently “Down Under” in Australia studying Aborigine Dot Art.  Ballroom Dance, also known as The Swing Pups, is having a great time learning fun dance moves to share with the school at their upcoming performance.  Computer Tech I & II is being taught in one of our e-Mints classrooms and the students have the opportunity to learn about all the programs on the computer that they don’t get the chance to use during a regular school day such as Comic Life, iChat and iMovie.  We also offer remediation classes for students referred by their teacher to assist in bringing them up to grade level performance in Math and Reading. Our site coordinator, Tonja Roberts (some may know her as Mrs. Bob) has done a fantastic job setting up our before and after school programs and we appreciate all of her hard work and dedication.  The next quarter starts on March 22nd so if your child is interested in being involved in any of these super fun after school activities watch for more information to come.

 

                                                        

 

Amelia Earhart Science Fair

We had a wonderful science fair at our school this year.  Many students from different grade levels participated.  All students who created a project received a ribbon and certificate for participation.  Ten of those students from our fifth and sixth grades were chosen by judges to go on and represent the school in the District Science Fair on the 26th of February.  We want to thank parents and teachers for their support in helping students to understand the scientific method and create projects.  We would also like to thank our PTA for helping make the science fair a hit.

Our office will be closing each day at 3:15p.m.

 

Remember that roller blades, skateboards, scooters and bikes are not to be ridden or used on school grounds and in the building. Before entering onto school property, students need to remove roller blades, carry skateboards and walk their scooters and bikes. All bikes brought to the school should be properly stored in one of the bikes racks provided by the school. It is strongly recommended that all students lock their bikes.

 

Lunch-money Payments Online

Provo school district is pleased to announce that your child's lunch account can now be accessed online. This will give you much more control over payments and help you to manage the balances better. You can link to it from the home page of any elementary school by clicking on the "Child Nutrition" link in the Quick Links menu. You can begin by setting up your account here.
