Mrs. McMullin’s class bids farewell to Mr. Peery! Orchard Hills was lucky enough to have Mr. Peery from Payson High School work with our school while getting his Administrative Endorsement. The kids and staff have loved and appreciated his time with us. Mrs. McMullin’s class wrote him opinion papers on why he will make an awesome principal.

Cougar Pride Winners 4/10/2019

Submitted by riley.winward on

We had a room full of Cougar Pride winners at the Rootbeer Float Party today! Students can receive Cougar Paws from their teachers by being kind, helping, showing positive behavior, being a good friend, and through many other ways. When a child gets a Cougar Paw, they take it to the office and their name is added to the Cougar Pride Board. These kids were chosen from the board to come to the party. We are so proud of our cougars and the PAWSitive choices they make! We can't wait for our next party!

Dissecting Owl Pellets in Mrs. Kelley's Class

Submitted by riley.winward on

Mrs. Kelley's class has been learning about animal adaptations.  We talked about an owl's food chain and learned that all animals depend on plants.  We learned that owls have an organ called a gizzard where the hard parts of their food that they cannot digest  are stored, then regurgitated.  We dissected these "pellets" to discover the bones of animals that the owls had eaten.  It was so much fun!  We were able to match the bones we found with a diagram of a vole, which a big part of an owl's diet.
