Jog-a-thon Fundraiser!Together We Synergize
Students had the opportunity to attend an assembly today to learn about our jog-a-thon! Your child will be bringing home a packet today with information. Please take a moment to read through the information. This is our school’s only fundraiser for the year! You can also click here for the information sheet. 

Safety Reminders
East Playground (Near Church Parking Lot) After SchoolPlease remember to wait just inside the fence to pick up students after school, and not venture near the portables, bike rack or grade level doors. Please remind older siblings who pick up after school to remain back, near the fence until the bell rings. 
Reminders from Staff on DutyAfter a long summer, it's easy to forget some of our parking lot procedures. Our staff will kindly offer gentle reminders to help us all work together to keep our students safe in the parking lots and school grounds. We deeply appreciate your cooperation and support in maintaining a secure and positive environment for everyone.

School Spotlight
Incredible Kickoff for Our Jog-a-Thon Fundraiser!We had an extraordinary start to our only fundraiser of the year with a fun and inspiring jog-a-thon skit featuring some of our very own teachers playing the part of the INCREDIBLES family! The excitement began when Mrs. Beck took the stage and asked the audience, "Do the INCREDIBLES go to school?" With a resounding "Yes!" from the crowd, the curtains opened to reveal many of our powerful friends at school, led in a discussion about SYNERGY by the ever-fashionable Edna Mode.Students were thrilled to learn that by synergizing, we can work together to raise money for our school! But the excitement doesn't stop there—our students will also have the opportunity to run on behalf of our friends at Kauri Sue Hamilton School. This means our efforts will not only benefit our school for our own fundraiser, but will also inspire our greater district community and beyond to donate to our INCREDIBLE friends at Kauri Sue Hamilton school.Let's harness our incredible powers and make this jog-a-thon a monumental success!

Safety Reminders

Kindergarten Playground

With a slight change in our Kindergarten recess schedule, we have recognized a safety hazard. We need your help to ensure the safety of our students.

Kindergarten students have recess up until the dismissal bell. It is important that all patrons, including young children, stay off of the kindergarten playground until after the bell rings. We ask that families stay on the sidewalks (not against the fence) to ensure teachers and assistants have clear visibility of their students. We also ask that families who have middle school students picking up younger siblings after school to remind their middle schooler to remain on the sidewalks, away from grade-level doors and the kindergarten playground, until after the bell rings.

Crosswalks

Please remember to cross at crosswalks! Even if an adult is with a student, we ask that you cross the parking lots at a crosswalk.

Dogs

Just as a reminder, dogs are not allowed on campus, even if they are on a leash.

Green Ribbon Week-Pedestrian Safety

Students had the opportunity to attend an assembly sponsored by SafeRoutes Utah. They learned the importance of avoiding distractions when walking/biking to school and how to safely cross the street. Students were given an activity book and a walking/biking tracker. Please take time to reinforce pedestrian safety with your child.

Children’s Choir Opportunity at Bingham HS

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is Bingham High's Fall Musical this year and we need a Children's Choir to do it right!

We want to invite any 3rd-6th grade age children who are interested in auditioning for the Children's Choir to fill out the interest form (if you have more than one child wanting to participate, fill it out multiple times for each child) and then prepare to come to the "audition" on Friday, September 6th from 3-4 PM in the Bingham High Choir Room! The audition is mostly to check that they can match pitch and more information about the auditions will be sent out on September 3rd.

The cut off for filling out the interest form below is September 2nd, so go fill it out now if you have a child who is interested! Please pass this info along to others in our community who might be interested as well!

We are looking for about 30-40 children and we hope to find the right ones who will add so much to our production in November!
