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!

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".

Congratulations to our Dragons of the Week (April 15-19)!

As part of the Social Studies Core Curriculum in 4th grade, students study the history, government, economics, culture, and geography of Utah (past and present).  Students also enlarge their "world connections as they trace the global travels of people from many diverse cultures who now call Utah home".  Incorporating music into this study makes it easier to remember key facts (counties of Utah), creates a sense of community and is enjoyable!  A special thank you to Ms. Howard for teaching and and leading the music for this amazing 4th grade performance.

We had the very BEST Career Week (thank you, Ms. Harris)!  In conjunction with our Friday theme, "What is my FUTURE?", several Springville High School athletes visited with us during our lunch recess.

Congratulations to our Dragons of the Week (April 8-12)!
