Dear Parents and Students,

It seems as if we just finished our school year and yet the stores are advertising back to school sales! I am sending out our supply list early so that you can hopefully take advantage of those sales! We are again following the Am. Falls School District schedule as close as possible and will be starting our school year August 29th, 2016.  There is a school calendar included with this letter.  Our schedule is below and recess is still the best time to contact your child.

Dear Fun Run participants,

The Staff and students at Arbon Elementary would like to thank everyone who came out and participated in our annual Fall Fun/Run.  We raised a little over $500, which will go a long ways toward our goal for  new playground equipment.  A big big thanks to Jamie Evans for helping organize,set up, and take down.  What an awesome school parent!!!  Again, Thank You!!!!

Letter from Dan Nuckols

Dear Jamie Evans,

What a joy it was to talk with you this morning. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to remain a part of Arbon Valley and have “The Nuckols” place still in conversation. I do so love that valley and the time I spent going to school there 6th – 8th grade…. seems like only yesterday.  Jerre was the first one to ever lay a punch on my jaw…. I can’t remember why, but he jumped in the air and connected a good one.  Some things a fella just never forgets.

Please add me and my wife, Karen, into the “walk” status of the fun run as spiritual apparitions. We will be there as such.  Best of luck to all in acquiring new payground equipment.

Please give my love to the valley,

Dan Nuckols

Morning performance is at 11:00 this morning and evening performance is at 7:00 tonight.  We’d love to see you there!
