Penny Wars at Sage Creek

Submitted by anthony.bowden on

Sage Creek students are earning money to help local refugee families with basic needs. After the first week of a penny war over $1500 dollars has been earned. We hope the small donations show that when we work together big things can happen. Tuesday will be the last day to bring donations.

Box Tops Contest!

Submitted by alison.hansen on

Sage Creek PTA recently held a Fear Factor Competition to entice students to bring in box tops.  We raised just slightly over $2500 for the school to supplement other fundraising events to provide additional playground equipment.  It was a fun way to show school spirit while raising money for a good cause!  Pictured above are the three teachers whose classes had the lowest turn-out of box tops ... pies thrown in their face by the teachers who had the highest amount of box tops turned in.  The three teachers who had pies thrown in their face were Ms. Scott, Ms. Li, and Ms. Orton ... all wonderful sports!  The students enjoyed the pies and cheered on their favorite "losing" teachers.

Submitted by anthony.bowden on

Dayna Tanner is a Kindergarten teacher at Sage Creek Elementary.  She has taught for 20 years.   She graduated from BYU and also received a master’s degree from USU.  Her favorite subject to teach is Reading and Writing. When asked a funny teaching moment she said that she was teaching and asked “What do trees give us? What comes from tree’s?  a student answered “Toilet paper” then another student said “Oh yeah – I saw toilet paper on tree’s before”.  Dayna likes to watch old movies, go hiking and go on quiet walks on the beach.  We are happy she is with us at Sage Creek Elementary.
