Bright Ideas Summer Program

Big shoutout to Mrs. Howard for participating in the North American Breeding Bird Survey! 🐦 This citizen science study has been running for 60 years across 4,000+ routes. Mrs. Howard spent her morning counting birds at half-mile points—3 minutes of observation at each stop. The glam glasses even made an appearance! 😎

Mrs. Hartung brought the glam to Lake Powell! 🌊 From surfing and tubing to wave-runners and family games, they made memories to last. What a way to spend the summer!

Another day, another glam. Who's next?

Pickleball + glam glasses = the perfect summer combo! 🏓🕶️ Our reading technicians are enjoying the beautiful weather, staying active, and looking fabulous while they play. We love seeing our team shine!

🏔️ Adventure Alert! Mrs. Betts and her daughter Marisa took on Mount Timpanogos last week—and made it all the way to the snowline! ❄️ Yes, there’s still snow up there! They’re planning another summit attempt later this summer. Hydration over glam was the rule of the day, so we took the liberty of glamming them up. 😉
Another day, another glam. The squad is growing. Who's next? Stay tuned! 👀

Just because it's summer break doesn't mean our teachers stop learning! 🎨 Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Wilson, and Mrs. Yu all participated in the Arts Express conference, focusing on arts integration. We can't wait to see how they bring these new ideas to the classroom! ✨

Congratulations to Ms. Wilkinson for winning the “King of Show” award at the Utah Rose Society Competition with her stunning Moonstone Rose! Her talent as a gifted rose gardener truly shines—and so do her fabulous summer Glam Glasses! Congratulations!

Not all adventures require a passport! Ms. Youd, Ms. Sumsion, Ms. Mousser, Ms. Bennett, Ms. Betts, and Ms. Sumsion all attended a CPR and First Aid class to make sure our school community stays safe and cared for next year. (And yes, the glam glasses made an appearance there, too!)

Ms. Clark traveled all the way to China with a group of Springville students (including her daughters)! Her photos show her sitting on the stairs of the Great Wall of China and posing with pandas in the background—all while rocking those glam glasses!

Mrs. Mousser kicked off her adventures early with a trip to India, working with schools in Bangalore! If you look closely at the photo, you’ll spot Mrs. Mousser in a Tuk Tuk!

School’s out and the adventures are just beginning! In past summers, Sage Creek faculty and staff shared their journeys in “School is Out for Summer” shirts or took Flat Sage (our beloved mascot) along for the ride. This year, we’re adding a sparkly twist—our glam glasses will be traveling everywhere we go!

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and restful summer. Keep an eye on our page to see where our teachers and staff (and their glam glasses!) end up next! Where will the Sage Creek crew go this year? Stay tuned!

🎉 What an amazing way to finish the year at Sage Creek Elementary! 🎉

At our final assembly, we celebrated the hard work and dedication of our students:

Perfect Attendance: Congratulations to our two students who achieved perfect attendance—not a single tardy or check-out all year!

America 250 Challenge: Twenty-one students took on the America 250 challenge, submitting their own performances of the "Star-Spangled Banner." Each participant was recognized with a certificate and their very own flag. We are so proud of your creativity and patriotism!

Proud Youd Club: A big shout-out to the ten students who completed the "Proud Youd Club" requirements after a year of hard work and commitment!

We are so proud of all our students for their achievements and positive spirit. Have a wonderful summer, Sage Creek families!

Our faculty and staff channeled their inner disco for a far-out 70’s dress-up day for the dance festival and end of year luncheon. ✌
But the fun doesn’t stop here—keep your eyes on our social media over the break! Watch for your favorite teachers and staff rocking their groovy glasses 😎 and sharing what they’re up to this summer. You never know what adventures you’ll see!
Stay cool, stay safe, and stay GROOVY, Dragons!

🎉 What an incredible way to wrap up the school year! Today, our Sage Creek Elementary students enjoyed the much-loved "BYU Traditionz" assembly—a favorite end-of-year tradition that always brings smiles, energy, and excitement.

A huge THANK YOU to the talented BYU dancers for sharing their amazing talents and putting on another unforgettable assembly! Our students look forward to this every year, and you never disappoint.

After five wonderful years at Sage Creek, we say goodbye to a true ray of sunshine. Mrs. Mansfield’s love for reading, her passion for sharing, and her genuine care for every student have made our school a brighter place.

As she retires, she looks forward to spending more precious time with her three darling grandchildren—who are so lucky to have her! Thank you, Mrs. Mansfield, for your kindness, dedication, and the joy you brought to our Sage Creek family. You will be deeply missed, but remember: once a Dragon, always a Dragon. 💛

🎓 Congratulations to our amazing 5th graders on their Graduation Day! 🎉

We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished at Sage Creek Elementary and can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll do in middle school.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated teachers—Mrs. Wood, Ms. Xiao Fang, Ms. Johnson, and Mr. Runolfson—for guiding and inspiring our students every step of the way.

Special thanks to Mrs. Howard for her incredible help with the graduation program and to our wonderful parent volunteers for making the day extra special with beautiful decorations.

Best of luck to our graduating fifth graders as you start your middle school adventure—you’ve got this!

There are no words to say how much we appreciate Mr. Scott. He is loved by staff and students and will be greatly missed. Wishing you all the best in your retirement—you’ve made Sage Creek Elementary a better place for us all! 💙✨

As Term 4 and the 2025-26 school year comes to a close, our teachers selected one student from each class to be our last Kind Kid of the Quarter. Grit is our focus this year and this quarter we focused on being determined. Students nominated for the quarterly award receive a certificate, a swag bag with Sage Creek items, and a surprise yard sight at their house. Congratulations to all our Kind Kids!

(K-2nd grade) Field day at Sage Creek Elementary was a huge—if not chilly—success! With beautiful snow-capped mountains as our backdrop, our Dragons and the many dedicated volunteers were true troopers, braving the cool temperatures to make memories and enjoy a day packed with fun.

Activities like the three-legged race, 9 square, and sponge tag kept everyone moving and smiling, but the crowd favorite—no matter the weather—was definitely the slip n' slide!

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing volunteers, teachers, and staff for making this a fantastic day for everyone. Your energy and support brought warmth to a cool field day! 🐉❄
