Tomorrow, December 17, 2019 is our Annual Christmas Program – We will have two performances that day.  The first one will be at 9:45am and the second will be at 12:45pm.  We would encourage parents of early bird students to attend the first performance and parents of later gators to attend the second performance. 

December 19 2019 – School Christmas Sing – This is a school assembly for the students.

December 20, 2019 – Minimal Day

Early Birds:  8:00am – 11:30am

Later Gators: 9:15am – 12:45pm

Our lunch schedule will change to accommodate the schedule, but lunch and breakfast will be served on these days.

Orem Elementary is a caring community.  The last couple of years, teachers and staff have donated money and have been able to help families with Christmas.  Last year, between donations from our faculty and staff as well as donations from KSL’s quarters for Christmas, we were able to assist over 30 individual children from our school.  We will continue this tradition this year. If you would like to donate to help families in our school please contact the office.  

Have a great start of December!
