Meet Mrs. Pies:
"My name is LaRaida Pies and I have lived in Utah all of my life. I love spending time hiking, fishing, and camping in the great outdoors. I especially love spending time with my three married children and their families. They have blessed me with six wonderful grandchildren. My husband and I own three Siberian Huskies who help keep us active. Although I have taught children in several different capacities for many years, I recently graduated from Weber State University with degrees in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. I am excited to teach at Three Mile Creek Elementary School."

Third graders are creating artwork after the manner of the artist Louise Nevelson. They are in need of small objects that would normally be thrown away (small cans, lids, etc.). They are also creating a community weaving and we need old white or light colored sheets that can be cut and dyed for our weaving. If you are able and willing to donate please drop your donations in the blue bin just inside the art room door. Thanks!

Mrs White, our awesome librarian, dressed as Waldo today to teach students how to find things in a library. She talked about the “Where’s Waldo” books with students and then they were put into teams to find Waldos hidden throughout the library.
Sledding fun at Three Mile Creek!!!
