🔥🚒 What an exciting day for our 1st graders! A huge THANK YOU to the amazing Layton City Fire Department for stopping by to teach us all about fire safety and what to do in an emergency! 🧯
Our students loved seeing the fire truck up close and learning how firefighters help keep our community safe.
We’re so grateful for our local heroes — and for making learning so much fun!

🎉 Time to celebrate our youngest Skyhawks! Some of our amazing kindergarteners have already passed off all of their upper and lowercase letters and sounds — what a huge accomplishment! 🎉
To celebrate, they took a special trip to the office where they received a star keychain and sucker as a reward for their hard work! 🍭⭐ We are so proud of their dedication and bright beginnings!
Way to go, little learners! Keep soaring! 💙🦅

Our 2nd graders had an a-maze-ing time on their fall field trip to Black Island Farms! From wagon rides and corn mazes to picking pumpkins, it was a day full of adventure, learning, and laughter. Huge thanks to the staff at Black Island Farms and our amazing parent chaperones for making it such a memorable experience! 🧡🌽🎒

Last week, our amazing students got creative and added some serious color to our courtyard by painting rocks with positive messages and cool designs! 🪨✨
Big shoutout to our Hope Squad for organizing this uplifting activity—proof that kindness and creativity go hand-in-hand. ❤️🎉
Every rock tells a story, and together, they remind us that our school truly ROCKS—inside and out! 🏫🙌

🏆 WHO'S THE TOP BANANA? 🏆
We’re going bananas at Layton Elementary with our final weekly award — the TOP BANANA! 🍌🎉
Each week, one class earns the Top Banana Trophy and a tasty banana treat for showing awesome lunchroom habits — like kindness, respect, good manners, and cleaning up after yourself! 💛👏
This fun award joins our Recess GOAT 🐐 and the Hawk Walk Chain 🦅 — all handed out each week to recognize outstanding students across our school.
So bring your best behavior to the cafeteria, because the next Top Banana could be YOUR class! 🍽️✨

Fridays just got a major glow-up! Along with our awesome Recess GOAT award, we’re now rolling out the sparkling, the dazzling, the one and only… HAWK WALK BLING!
Each week, a couple of classes will earn this shiny honor by showing top-tier hallway behavior:
🚶 Walking like pros
🤫 Voices low and respectful
🙌 Hands to self, always
It’s all about moving through the halls with Hawk Pride — fly kind, fly responsible, fly safe! and setting the example for others to follow!
Will your class take home the bling this Friday?
Let’s strut our stuff and walk the walk!

🎉🎂 Birthday Bash Alert! 🎂🎉
Our Monthly Birthday Table is here to celebrate! 🎈 Once a month, we roll out the fun on the stage in the cafeteria to honor all the birthdays from that month! Keep an eye out for the birthday balloons and make your way to the table of treats! This round, we’re sending BIG birthday wishes to our August and September birthdays - wishing you a year full of smiles, laughter, and of course… Cake! 🎉✨🥳
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing PTA for making these monthly celebrations so special. 💙

Our school is looking boo-tiful!
Big shoutout to our amazing Student Council and Jr. Hope Squad for bringing some fall magic to our courtyard! They planted tulips and daffodils that will bloom-tifully in the spring — we can't wait to see the colorful surprise after winter! 🌷🌼
A HUGE thank you to @jjnursery for donating the bulbs — your generosity helps our students grow kindness (and flowers)! 🌱💛
Way to go, student leaders — you're absolutely spook-tacular!
