Box Tops, Labels and Milk Caps

BOX TOPS, LABELS WINNERS! Congratulations to Mrs. Smith's class, which brought in the most Box Tops, Soup Labels, and Milk Caps for our December contest! Ms. Porath's class came in second, with Mrs. Leeflang's class in third. The 4th grade is currently in first place in the contest for the Movie Party. Keep sending in the Box Tops, Soup Labels and Milk Caps -- we'll collect them again in March! Thanks for your support in these programs!

Mrs. Midge Treglown - the most outstanding principal's secretary in Granite District!

Mrs. Midge Treglown recently received the honor as "the most outstanding principal's secretary in the Granite District." Part of the letter of recommendation for her stated: Midge Treglown has worked for Granite District for 27 years. She is a true asset to our school. Midge displays wonderful work ethics and is always enthusiastic, reliable, and punctual. She has excellent communication skills and is highly perceptive to the needs of students, parents, and teachers. Midge is excellent at mulit-task procedures and remains warm, outgoing, kind and understanding to everyone while she meets their demands." Any parent or student who has worked with Mrs. Treglown will agree with this 100%! She is an outstanding lady who very much deserves this honor. As also stated in the letter, "Midge is the heart and soul of Howard R. Driggs." We apprecicate her so much for all that she does for the school every day.

Thank you, and congratulations, Mrs. Treglown!
