The senior sponsors, Jason Taylor and Ruby Yepa, have been helping the seniors by having Navajo Taco sales to raise money for a senior trip at the end of the year. Their first fundraiser was at the Annual ATV Jamboree here in Richfield. People from all over the country and the world come for this annual. This year they broke the record for the number of ATVs in a parade, 2,014 4-wheelers paraded down the streets of Richfield. The second fundraiser took place at the Richfield High School Homecoming football game. The seniors are well underway in raising money for their trip.

Buses pulled into Richfield on Monday evening (August 17), and students and staff have been running ever since. This week has been full of registration, orientation, meetings, discussions of rules, and getting used to a new environment and people. The first week is always hard because of how busy things are.

Now that we are settling in and getting used to our new home, we actually have the time to have some fun. We have so many fun activities planned for the next few months. Just in the next few weeks, we will be going to the Utah State Fair, hiking in Capitol Reef National Park, and hosting a block party for our community. Take a look at the “Calendar” section of our website to see what is planned for today. Thanks to all of the parents for allowing your student to have this amazing opportunity!

Just a reminder to all that our school switched to Mountain Daylight Savings Time on Sunday, March 8th. Please keep this in mind when calling your student. Thank you.

Our counselor, Mrs. Julander, had her annual Christmas card making activity. The cards were easy to put together….a little glue, a little this, a little that. By making homemade cards the students could give it their personal touch! Thanks Mrs. Julander the cards look awesome!

Kerwin Chee and Lucy Slick each received a 24 pound turkey as a prize for quessing the number of candy corns in a jar. Congratulations to our winners!

The student council would like to thank Kaye & Pete Weimer (maintenance man/homeliving assistant) for the delicious treats they provide for the staff and students each holiday. The treats are very creative and each treat fits into the holiday theme. Also, Pete’s sister has made cookies for the students to eat on their long bus trips home. She has also donated coats, gloves, and other food items for the students. We appreciate the Weimer family for their thoughtfulness!
