School Information
Fall Festival and Fun Run
We would like to thank our PTA for the fantastic week we had last week. They put in hundreds of hours planning and carrying out these events. We would also like to thank Doterra for supplying the T-shirts and Smith’s Marketplace in Lehi for donating the fantastic fruits for the Fun Run. Thanks, PTA, for all you do for our school!
Reflections-See below for details
I would just like to encourage you to help your students with a Reflection entry. Hopefully, you have all noticed a reduction in the homework for your students. One benefit that can be had with this homework policy is that you might have a bit more time to do things like a Reflection entry. I know life is busy but the Reflections program is something that your children remember for years to come. Please remember that entries are due by October 13th.
Cornbelly Opportunity
Cornbelly’s opened last weekend! If your family is planning on going to Cornbelly’s any time this season, use ALPINEPTA as your promo code and you can get $3 off your admission to Cornbelly’s
From the Library
Please remember to return any past due library books!

Reflections
Reflections is a national PTA program and it gives students the chance to submit art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts. The theme for this year is Show your Voice! Submissions need to be sent electronically here: https://www.utahpta.org/ref (this is also where instructions and rules are found) by October 13th.
