Wonderful to see so many of you at Bingo Night! Our PTA couldn't be sweeter!
Thank you to Officer Hassard, Officer Howell, Officer Bair and the other wonderful Garland Tremonton Police who supported us tonight! We love their community spirit!
Tomorrow night is Bingo Night! Hope you can come. We'd love to see more of our Bears.❤️
More Roar and Raise 5K
Roar and Raise 5K was SO FUN! Thank you, PTA! Student winners: 1st Blake Zilles, 2nd Oakley Munns, 3rd Mason Zilles. Adult winners: 1st Dallas Singleton, 2nd Rachel Sparks, 3rd Yessica Young. Nice job!!
This is Peggy Anderson. She and her husband have been doing quiet acts of service for Garland for several years now. They have made us beautiful crocheted hats a couple of times over the years, and this year made these lovely bookmarks for our students. Thank you, Peggy! Garland Elementary is so grateful for you!
Picture Day is Tomorrow :)
Important notice😊
Happy Monday, Garland Bear families~
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! I wanted to reach out and let all our Garland Bears know about the school-wide attendance initiative that we will be doing this school year. Last school year Garland rocked our overall school-wide attendance and each month we were over the monthly average of 95% attendance so this school year we want to focus on tardies. We will do this by celebrating the grade level classes with the lowest tardies on the RANDOM tardy day. I will announce the winners the following month. The winning grade level classes will each display an attendance trophy in their classrooms for the month, receive a Bear Pride ticket as well as a small treat. These classes will also get their picture taken to be displayed in the kiva and a shoutout on Garland's social media platforms.
Each trimester there will also be TWO overall tardy winners for that trimester. I will see what classes (1) K-2nd) & (1) 3rd-5th) had the least amount of tardies the past three months. The two winning classes will receive a Bear Pride ticket, get their picture taken to be displayed in the kiva and a shoutout on Garland's social media platforms. These two classes will also get a bigger class treat of their choosing (pizza party, root beer floats, donuts etc).
I'm so excited to be teaching this week! I will be in Bear Skills all week doing a lesson with students on "All Are Welcome". It's the perfect lesson to start off the school year and a great reminder that everyone is welcome no matter who or where you come from. I will also let the students know about the attendance initiative during Bear Skills. Thank you!

Thank you to Mrs. Wise, Ms. Olivia and our student leaders for a delightful back to school assembly! And shout out to a staff that's not afraid to be a little silly for the kids! ❤️
A full week of FUN is coming!! Please plan to support Garland Sept 21-24. We'd love to see you at these fun events. All funds earned go right back to your students!
We had the happiest welcoming committee this morning.
SO good to have students here again!
Garland PTA Board appreciation post--everything they do, they do with their whole heart!! (Even photo bombing 🤣) Thank you❤️❤️❤️!
It feels good to have families back in the building!
We've missed you! Welcome back!
It was lovely to see so many of you at back to school night! Thank you for coming!
Our teachers spent the day resetting our professional learning community commitments, tackling challenges head on, and having so much fun cheering for each other! Supt. Mecham joined us (sorry--no pic) which was special and motivating! It's great to be a Garland Bear.
Do you recognize this "new" teacher? Mrs. Hall (formally known as Miss Williams) is back!❤️
My name is Alpine Hall. Many of you may remember me as Alpine Williams. I taught fourth grade at Garland Elementary in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, and I am so excited to be back with the fourth grade team that I started my journey as a teacher with!
I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and then headed to Louisiana Tech University to play soccer and pursue elementary education degree. After graduating, I moved to Utah where I started teaching fourth grade at the best school, Garland Elementary. I ended up moving after getting married and teaching in Louisiana and Nevada. I absolutely love teaching, and Garland showed me how amazing fourth grade is! I am beyond excited to be back at my roots this year!
Outside of the classroom, I am a big fan of anything that has to do with athletics and sports. I love working out, playing soccer, taking my dog on walks, and supporting my husband in his football career. This summer we lived in Poland while he played for their Professional European Team. We traveled all over Europe and had the best time! Sports has a big part of my heart, and I love bringing the lessons it taught me into my classroom everyday.
I am grateful for the opportunity to teach at Garland Elementary School again and working with students that I know and love! I can’t wait to see old faces again and meet the new ones that will be in my classroom! It’s going to be a great year!
Garland has 2 more teachers we get to add to our wonderful staff! We feel SO thankful! Please enjoy reading about them! Hi everyone! I’m Kirsten Lucas, and I am so excited to be joining Garland Elementary as a first-grade teacher this year! I graduated from Southern Utah University with a degree in Elementary Education and have continued working in the classroom since. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and I look forward to creating a classroom where every student feels welcomed, encouraged, and excited to learn. I especially love those “lightbulb moments” when students make a connection and discover something new. When I’m not in the classroom, you can find me reading, crocheting, baking sourdough, or spending time with my mini Goldendoodle, Milo! I love being creative and can’t wait to bring that creativity, joy, and excitement into my classroom. I am so excited to meet students and their families and become part of the Garland Bear family! Here’s to a wonderful school year!
