Fourth grade students at Sage Creek Elementary were fortunate to be able to attend a performance of the Utah Symphony on Monday, December 19th at Salem Hills High School.  All of the fourth grade students in the district are invited to see and hear the symphony perform each year and for some this is a once in a lifetime experience.  In preparation for this significant event the students have been learning about different musical instruments, composers, and types of music.  They all dressed in their very best  for this extra special occasion and had an experience they will never forget

A fairy tale came to life in Mrs. Robbins  4th grade class at  Sage Creek Elementary.  A handsome prince arrived at their class (although not on horseback) dressed in his finest princely attire with flowers in hand.  He got down on one knee in front of the awestruck class and proposed to their much beloved student teacher ....an princess, Melissa Griffin!  Naturally, and thankfully for the prince, she accepted his proposal Everyone was excited, and very glad that she said YES and are sure that they will love happily ever after.

Sage Creek students of all ages were treated to their annual 6th Grade Orchestra Christmas Concert.  Students played Christmas songs from around the world and had the audience chime in for a verse of their favorite - Jingle Bells!  Members of the orchestra have been coming to school at 8:00 AM for two to three days a week since the beginning of the school year; many had never even picked up an instrument before this time.  Orchestra members are:  Violin:  Allen Bird, Abbey Deyo, Adam Gee Cala Giles, Ashlyn Glazier, Amanda Guernsey, Haley Green, Chandler Jones, and Emma Scott.  Cellos:  Ethan Averett, Lydia Davies, Josh Eaton, Derek Heiner, Jorge Kaufman, Bradley Nicol, Rachel Sturman.  Violas:  Sydney Gee, Emily Ells. Isabella Nelson and Abbigail Zonts.  Many thanks to Miss Maggie Hall for her hours and hours of help with these students.
