This classroom activity explored careers in the armed forces and then prepared a program to honor veterans. At the program each veteran was presented with a red carnation. A uthor Rick Walton did an assembly at Larsen Elementary School for the entire student body and then did presentations for each grade level. He discussed jobs in the writing and publishing industry. Prior to a field trip to Stage Coach State Park and Hutching Museum, a park ranger visited Larsen Elementary and discussed the State Park System and jobs related to that field.
South Summit is excited about all the opportunities available in the elementary school community.
While working at Benson Engineering I found many uses for some of the basic topics that are taught in my class. When I taught topics in my class this year, I was able to give much more insight which in turn made the graphing of lines more interesting and more useful. Wasatch High School has been participating in a pilot educational program this year sponsored by Novell, Inc., the Mountainland Region, the State Office of Education, and Utah Valley State College. Wasatch High School was one of the first high schools in the nation to be recognized as a NEAP-Secondary site which entitles Wasatch High School to offer approved Novell courses to its students. I n order to become a NEAP-Secondary site, Duke Mossman, a teacher at Wasatch High School was required to complete two weeks of training over the summer, as well as pass two very difficult Novell exams.
