"It is that time of year again when poor air quality caused by inversions becomes a health concern for many of us, especially our children. 50 % of air pollution in Utah comes from car emissions, so we can all make a difference by not idling our cars.  Please remember the school's Curb Your Carbon policy: when on school grounds please do not idle your vehicles."
 
L'Union fait la Force
The Haitian motto of "Strength in Unity" could not be more accurate as the Middle School joined together to raise more than $500 for Doctors Without Borders in Haiti.  Thank you all for the support and look for future fundraisers in the coming weeks! 
 
MathCounts - Special thanks to Harris Christiansen's family for providing
our snack this week.  Sophia has volunteered her family for our snack next
week.  The school competition went very well with all mathletes scoring
numerous points.  There was a battle for the fourth team member between
Emily Sundquist and Matt Parker.  The final team will be Clark Walthers,
Sara Harper, Harris Christiansen, and Emily Sundquist.  Our second team
will follow the leadership of their captain Matt Parker; his team members
are Claire Wang, Sasha Uchitel and Sophia Nielsen.  All will be competing
at the regional competition on February 6th.  Next Monday and Tuesday's
