DLI Chinese students Jay Galloway from the 3rd grade, and Bryson Close, Ivy Young, Josie Jay, Jenivieve Wilson, and Isaac Tangren from the 4th grade showcased their language skills by participating in the National Chinese Speech Contest earlier this year. Issac Tangren and Maxwell Johnson participated in the talent show and made it into the final contest open and closing ceremony event.

Dance For FUNds
ENJOY A UNIQUE SERVICE OPPORTUNITY
WITH YOUR FAMILY
Did you ever think you could raise money for families fighting cancer simply by doing a little bit of dancing and exercising? Well that’s exactly what you can do at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society DANCE for FUNds fundraising event, coming up on Saturday, April 27th at the Nebo School District Summit Center.
The day is packed full of family friendly dance activities, performances, physical challenges, free food, prizes, and more.
Kick it off with Dancing Cosmo at 11:00. Dance with Tik Tok star and cancer thriver, Tia Stokes, at 1:00. Take a break at 3:00 and watch the BYU Dunk Team. And so many other entertaining activities as well!
Our very own Nebo School District Dance Specialist, Melanie Fillmore, is the event organizer. When her nephew asked Melanie to join his Visionary of the Year Campaign for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, she gave him a big yes. She immediately knew somehow she wanted to join her love of dance with this important cause.
Don’t love to dance? Come enjoy the performances, get some food, be inspired by our cancer heroes, or visit the “I Can Do It” station with physical challenges and contests. There will also be a children’s dance room with fun dancing props for ages 1-6. Options for the whole family!

Who Wants to Be An Opera Star?
We LOVED having several of the artists from the Utah Opera visit our school this morning! We enjoyed learning opera terms and listening to beautiful music! Please see Utah Opera's information about their School Outreach Program below:
"Utah Opera’s school programs give students opportunities to develop skills in music as identified in the state core curriculum while they are being introduced to the basic elements of the art form of opera; our programs also show audiences that being involved in the art form can be moving, thrilling, and fun. We hope to inspire promising young artists and give them experience with the variety of artistic activities and careers involved in the creation, development, and production of opera".
Dragons of the Week!
Congratulations to our Dragons of the Week (April 15-19)!
