DURING THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 10-14, students at Westside Elementary participated in the annual food drive. To motivate students to bring food, the student council initiated the “Food Fight.” Each classroom was awarded points based on how many items of non-perishable food they brought in. Other classes in the school, however, could bring in certain food items and “bomb” another classroom which detracted points from their score. These “bombing” items consisted of tuna fish, peanut butter, and chili which the food bank specified were most needed. Because of the amount of work involved in the organization of the food drive, multiple people and organizations were involved. The 4-H clubs assisted in gathering the food items. The student council members of Westside, (Holly Carter, Aydan Marshall, Alex Ashton, Brynn Dinkel, Moroni Wright and Ramzie Farr) counted and sorted the items. In the end, a grade-level winner was crowned, and an overall school winner with the most points earned a party for their classroom. Mrs. Couch’s third-grade class won the overall contest. Over 4,500 items were brought in overall. These items will be donated to Community in Action. Submitted by Monica Bair
Pictured is Colonel Walter T. Stewart and his grandson, Garrett Dedrickson Fifth-grade students at Brockbank Elementary recently held their annual wax museum and while most students picked people like Daniel Boone, Thomas Edison, Shirley Temple, etc...(all great people), one student picked his grandpa as his famous person in American history. Garrett Dedrickson choose to spotlight his grandpa, Colonel Walter T. Stewart. Colonel Stewart is a local World War ll veteran, best known for leading the 93rd Bombardment Group on the low-level bombing mission of the oil refineries in Ploesti, Romania during Operation “Tidal Wave” on August 1, 1943. After the American commander’s plane was shot down, Stewart took the lead, piloting his plane named the “Utah Man” into the face of the German’s defences to deliver the first bombs on the target. Stewart’s plane came back with 365 holes in it, the damage the aircraft suffered was so severe that he had to reduce airspeed and nearly ran out of fuel. Of the 178 aircrafts that took off, 54 were shot down. The Ploesti raid was the most decorated mission of World War ll. Colonel Stewart retired after 36 years of service and 32 combat missions. Among his many decorations are the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, the Distiguished Flying Cross, and the Air Medal with 4 Oak Leaf Clusters. Colonel Walter T. Stewart lives in Benjamin with his wife, Ruth, and is truly an American Hero. Submitted by Brenda Johnson

On December 18, 2012, the Springville Jr. High school Choir came to Art City Elementary School. The Choir sang Christmas songs and their traditional song “Bum-bittibum.” Mrs. Walker, the choir director, said they were not going to sing it but that the students begged; they learned the song in a week and sounded terrific! The choir did a dance called “Crazy Santa” and the all time favorite “Christmas Round” “Chop-Chop, shovel-shovel”. It was very exciting to watch the Jr. High School choir sing. The students look forward to the Choir coming every year, thank you Mrs. Walker. Submitted by Julia Murray

Search, “Sterling Scholar”, online to see bio on students.
We know it’s Christmas at Mapleton School, when there are lost Gingerbread men being searched for. Students decorated their gingerbread on Monday morning and by lunch the little rascals had already taken off! They were here there and every where. This year students had a special friend from Hallmark, a spunky character, the “Ginger” bread man. Another year, another great hunt with a happy ending!

Springville Jr visits Art City
Springville High
Written by Kai Hendry and Abby Hullinger Earlier this year, our principal, Mrs. Kimball won a state award. She was nominated by the administrators for the title of Middle-Level Principal of the Year! (“Middle-Level” meaning the Jr. High level.) She was rewarded with a Snoopy trophy and a trip to Washington D.C. with her husband. All of the award winning principals from every state were there, too.While she was in D.C., she and her husband met with Utah’s senators, Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee to discuss education in Utah. We asked her how she felt when she won. She said, “I was surprised and humbled. There are a lot of great principals in the state. Winning this says a lot about the people I work with. You can’t do it yourself; the kids help make the school great!” Mrs. Kimball has done a wonderful job getting our new school up and running. We, as students, feel that Mrs. Kimball definitely qualifies for Principal of the Year because she genuinely cares about her students and works hard for us so we can get a better education. We are lucky to have her as our principal. We are proud of you, Mrs. Kimball!
