The first graders at Orchard Hills Elementary gave their principal, Mr. Murray a heart attack!  They covered his room with hearts and good wishes.

The first, second, and third grades at Orchard Hills Elementary were educated and entertained by the Provo Area Dental Wives. The marionettes were educational and fun. We learned all about dental hygiene. Thanks a bunch!

Students in Mrs. Howard's fifth grade class have been experimenting.  During this experiment, we tried to find the best "rocket fuel" for our bottle rockets. We mixed several solids (alka seltzer, baking soda) with liquids (soda, water, and vinegar), and tried to come to a conclusion about which combination worked best. We had fun testing our hypotheses and being scientists for the day!

This week the kindergartners at Orchard Hills have been learning about what science is.  Science is: water, land, animals, our bodies, seasons, senses, experiments, wondering, asking questions, fossils, rocks, and much much more!  In Miss Rowley's class each child was asked to share some sort of science project or subject with the class.  Some shared with the class were: sink and float, magnets, leaf collection, making a volcano, color experiments, and more.  Science is fun!

First grade students had the Bean Museum come and teach about categorizing animals.

In January, Rick Wieber's Bicycle Stunt Show came to Orchard Hills.  What a great time for our school.  They did some amazing bike stunts that were loved by all.  They taught about bicycle safety, goal setting, achievement, bullying, and drugs.  They shared their personal experiences and kept everyone entertained while doing it.  They also taught the importance of wearing helments.  Thanks for coming to our school!

Orchard Hills Elementary students delighted the Nebo School Board of Education by presenting musical pieces from their first sixth-grade orchestra and a short vignette from the “Christmas Carol” from their drama students.

On Friday, December 20th the school had their annual Christmas Sing-a-long.  What a fun tradition.  Each grade level sang a song, the orchestra played some songs, and everyone had a great time singing songs together.  Merry Christmas!

On December 19th the first grade classes performed their first grade program for the school and for parents.  They sang songs and recited poems.  Good job first graders!

Second grade had a blast learning about Christmas around the world!! We had volunteers come teach about different countries they have lived in. We learned about different customs and traditions all over the world. We wanted to especially thank Mr. Barlow, Mr. Murray, and Mr. Oyler for presenting to us!
