Ms. Fu is our amazing 5th grade Chinese teacher!  She is from the Hunan Province in South Central China.  She enjoys teaching because it teaches her something new every, single day.  Her hobbies include reading and swimming.  We love having her at Sage Creek!

Kindergartners celebrated the 100th day of school today!  They wrote about what they might be like when they are 100 (filtered 100-year-old picture included), made Froot Loop 100 necklaces, counted 100 treats by 10's, read a "Count to 100" book, played Race to 100" math game, " and made 100 Day Crowns.  Ms. Orton's class enjoyed doing many of these activities with glow-in-the dark FUN!  It was a great day to be a DRAGON!

Each Monday, we will highlight a Chinese phrase presented by our dual-language immersion students.  Please click on the link to view the video on YouTube.  Learn to speak Chinese with us!  https://youtu.be/hcSRGs26pRg

Congratulations to the Dragons of the Week for January 30-February 3!

Congratulations to Sage Creek Elementary School in Springville, in Nebo School District, and their school PR Ambassador, Shavon Mousser, for earning the Nebo #Hashtag Award.

The school also has approximately 227% of their student enrollment connected on social media to get the latest news from the school. Go check out all the wonderful things that are happening at Sage Creek Elementary: https://www.facebook.com/SageCreekElementary 

“I am THRILLED to receive the #Hashtag award this month! This is the first year I’ve been the PR Ambassador at Sage Creek and I LOVE IT! I felt inspired to show the amazing activities our students are engaged in each day! We have outstanding faculty and staff at Sage Creek, so it has been easy to highlight the wonderful work they do!’ exclaimed Shavon Mousser. “As I pondered the many things that make Sage Creek special, I knew I needed to focus on our Chinese Immersion Program. This led to our ‘Mandarin Monday.’ Each week, one of our dual-language immersion students presents a Chinese phrase or song, which is posted on YouTube. The unique ability these students' possess definitely needs to be celebrated! Another special focus this year has been on our many, new teachers. It has been fun to highlight their talents and unique qualities they bring to our faculty. The most important aspect of my job is to help families feel a part of our school community, which is why I post each day!”

Principal Mike Johnson said, “Shavon is one of the best promoters of school spirit and positivity as evident from all the spotlights of people and programs that she posts on the Sage Creek website. She has a true passion for highlighting the amazing things at our school and absolutely deserves this recognition.”

Lana Hiskey, the Nebo Communications Administrator, presented the award to School PR Ambassador Shavon Mousser and Principal Mike Johnson. Congratulations on a job well done!

We celebrated 100th Day of School!  We are definitely 100 days smarter!

At the beginning of 2023, the fifth graders chose to do the 'One Word' challenge The idea behind the one word is “to overcome distractions and bring more focus, purpose, commitment, and success” in the coming year. Instead of creating resolutions and goals, students choose one word that will be their guiding force for the year.  It was a lot of fun to learn about and reflect on what word would best describe what they wanted for the coming year.

Congratulations to the Dragons of the Week for January 23-27!
