Parent Update Week of Feb. 19-23, 2024

Last week was busy at East Midvale.  The week started with our Masked Singer assembly which the students earned by getting over 500,000 Dojo points for positive behaviors.  All Pro Dads met middle of the week and problem solved how to build the tallest marshmallow towers.  The week ended with our schoolwide Scripp’s spelling bee.  

NO SCHOOL tomorrow Monday February 19 for President’s Day Holiday. 

CONGRATULATIONS to our SCRIPPS SPELLING BEE CHAMPION SIMON A. & 2nd runner up DAMIEN M.E.!  These two  students will represent East Midvale in the regional spelling bee on March 23 at Wasatch Junior High.   Thank you to the East Midvale PTA for sponsoring this event.

STUDENT HEALTH TIP of the WEEK from Nurse Amy:  Family mealtime is an important part of a child’s day that has many benefits including:  Better academic performance, higher self-esteem, greater sense of resilience, lower risk of substance abuse, lower risk of depression, lower rates of obesity, and even a bigger vocabulary in preschoolers! Make it a goal to have at least one family meal each day!
