Students at Taylor Elementary were encourage to "Say No to Drugs" druing Red Ribbon Week.  Students participated during the week by dressing up for themed days.  Themes included, Dream Big, Get Hooked on Books, Be a Team Player, and Being Drug Free is Sweet.  Each classroom in the school decorated a bulletin board with a drug-free message to share.  Students at Taylor are encouraged to remember that Red Ribbon Week doesn't just last for  a week, it lasts for a lifetime. Many thanks go to Mrs. Phena Brown and Mr. Mike Adams for making this such a great week at Taylor!

Taylor first-grade student, Kate Poulson, had her name drawn from amongst hundreds of names to be a winner of a brand new bike!  Kate was awarded her bike gift certificate in a school wide assembly.  When Mr. Daybell pulled her name, the students cheered in excitement for her and congratulated her on her win!  Many thanks go to Ken Garff's Road to Success program and Walmart for making this drawing possible.  Way to to Kate! 

Walmart made ten teachers very happy this week because they donated $100 gift cards to Taylor school's teachers.  Walmart knows how much money teachers spend from their own pockets to help student learning and they wanted to give a little back.  These teachers were randomly awarded in a school wide assembly.  Teacher's faces were so surprised when Mr. Daybell pulled their names out of the bucket while the school cheered for them loudly.  Congratulations go to Mr. Ryan Wilson, Mrs. Susan Hereth, Mrs. Rhonda Proctor, Mrs. Tara Hunt, Mrs. Chris Patten, Ms. Patti Quesada, Ms.

A few of Taylor's students left the school in an ambulance the other day.  Leah Dehart, Tegan Houston, Ryan Harmer, Jacob Nelson, and Maddison Wood won the coloring for Taylor Elementary sponsored by Payson Fire Department.  Students were picked up from school, taken to the fire department and were able to ride in the fire truck, ambulance, eat hot dogs and chips and hang out with fire fighters.  Congratulations to these Taylor Tigers! 

Taylor Elementary has a friendly competition between classes each month.  Students are encouraged to bring as many box tops in as they can and donate them to the school. The PTA keeps track of the class that brings the most in and they get to host the schoo's Box Top trophy in their room. Mrs. Corbin's fourth-grade class was the recipient of the trophy for the month of September and they're excited to keep bringing in box tops!   Nice job Taylor tigers!  

Taylor Elementary's September students of the month get to enjoy a fancy lunch of pizza and soda with Mr. Daybell.  These students were chosen by their teachers because they make great efforts in academics and behavior choices each day in their classrooms.  These students have set a high standard at Taylor School for others to admire!  Way to go Taylor Tigers for setting the bar high!
