Nature Walk at Crowther's Reservoir
Malad Elementary Happenings May has been an eventful final month of school. Many fun and exciting things happened to wrap up another momentous year at Malad Elementary. The kindergarten went on a field trip to Logan and one to the Oneida County Library. First graders got to visit the town library, as well as Brady’s Plant Ranch in Downey. They were excited to get to bring a plant home after that experience. Second grade went back in time to the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park in Ogden. They also got to go the Oneida County Library and get excited about their summer reading program. Their final excursion was to the LaGrande Aqua Plunge for an afternoon of swimming. Fourth grade participated in many fun activities during the month. They had chalk art day and left pictures on the concrete at the school for everyone to see. They took a nature walk to Crowther’s Reservoir and examined things with magnifying glasses. The library and the park were also included in their activities. They ended the year with a swimming party on the last day of school. Fifth grade got to get a taste of middle school by going to the Malad Middle School and experience a bit of what it will be like for them next year. Third grade went on a field trip to Idaho State University. They also went on a walking field trip around Malad. They visited City Hall and had a mock city council meeting. They went to the courthouse and learned about the courtroom and dispatch, even getting “locked” in the holding cells. They visited the Pioneer Museum where they learned about all the cool building “treasures” of our town. Finally, Luke Waldron gave us a tour of downtown Malad, and they had the chance to go inside the CoOp building and learn about the interesting history of that building. It was an impressive experience for the third graders, and they were so appreciative of Mrs. Melanie Coleman for arranging the whole experience and Mr. Waldron for taking time to C Y

Students enjoy a trip to the courthouse
show them a little about Malad’s history. The entire school also participated in field day on the last Monday/ Tuesday, which was sponsored by the PTO. The teachers are very appreciative of what the PTO has done for them this year and the room parents who come to help. During field day, parents accompanied the classes for the activities so the teachers could get some of their final work done as they prepared for the last day of 2021-2022. One last time, the staff at Malad Elementary would like to thank all those parents who were willing to help us out by waiting in the pickup line for their students this year. It did take a few extra minutes to do this, but the safety of our students is more important than waiting a few minutes. We appreciate your help and support of this effort. We are looking forward to the same cooperation next year. Our kindergarteners had the goal of being kind to everyone during the month of May. They made cards and posters to say thank you to those that help make our school such a wonderful place to come and learn. Every single one of the kindergarten students participated and accomplished this goal. The first graders have been working all year to accomplish their goal of reaching proficiency in reading. Those who have accomplished this are Charlie Blackner, Aiden Chabries,
