Bountiful Elementary has announced a variety of upcoming events and community initiatives scheduled for the week of November 9. These include local roadwork, student performances, and several opportunities for families to participate in community giving efforts.
Bountiful City's Street Department will begin concrete repairs on 1500 South, east of the roundabout, on Monday, November 9. To minimize disruptions to school traffic, the city plans to begin closures after morning drop-off and reopen the roadway before afternoon pickup. All crosswalks will remain available throughout the repairs, which are expected to take approximately two days but could last longer.
Several student activities are scheduled for the coming week. On Monday, November 9, 3rd through 5th grade students will participate in a DEEP field trip to Kingsbury Hall. On Tuesday, November 10, 2nd grade students will present "America Is..." with a student program for staff and students at 9:15 a.m. and a public performance at 2:45 p.m. Additionally, Bell Photographers will return for school picture retakes on Wednesday, November 11, from 8:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Community giving initiatives are also approaching. The Bountiful Elementary PTA will host a food drive from November 16–20, where families can send nonperishable food items with students. On Saturday, Nov. 21, Loyal Cycle Co. will bring Cranksgiving to Bountiful, a community bike ride that combines cycling with collecting food donations for local families. Registration for the ride begins at 12:45 p.m. and the ride starts at 1:30 p.m.
The school is also emphasizing the importance of attendance and punctuality. Principal Pickett noted that instruction begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. and encouraged families to reach out if they are experiencing challenges getting to school regularly or on time.
Important upcoming deadlines include the registration deadline for the Davis HELPS mental health screening on Friday, November 13. Additionally, the yearbook cover contest submissions are due in the front office by November 24.
