We have a unique opportunity to weigh in on the future of our community, while also earning funds for our school.
This fall, Envision Utah is helping Utah Valley residents and stakeholders create a vision for the future as we add nearly 1 million people to our population over the next 50 years. This effort – called Valley Visioning – has culminated into the Valley Visioning survey, linked below.

Our 5th grade had the opportunity to learn about the 2 drug dogs SF has on the police force. Officer Smith and Officer Davis brought their dogs, Maverick and Iceman. The students learned where the dogs came from, how old they are, and how much work they are to train. Thank you to Officer Peterson for making this happen for us.
Jen Gasser, sixth-grade teacher at Rees Elementary, said, “I am very excited about the Nebo Foundation Grant of $300! Our wonderful principal will match those funds. Our grade has been wanting to get some high interest guided reading books at varying levels. It is our belief that we need to help students fall in love with reading. We can accomplish this by having well-loved books at our fingertips. This grant will allow us to purchase over 90 books for students to read.
