Eastlake Elementary Celebrates Successful Mission to Planet Kindergarten

Students at Eastlake Elementary School celebrated a successful launch to Planet Kindergarten. The school was honored for having the highest percentage of students with 100% proficiency in letter identification and sounds in the Jordan School District. To celebrate, the students were joined by members of District mission control, who rewarded them with astronaut candy and awarded principal Myler with an astronaut trophy to display at the school.

Planet Kindergarten is a districtwide initiative to inspire students to reach literacy goals. Schools have created space-themed learning activities to help make kindergarten learning an out-of-this-world experience. Congrats, Eastlake students and kindergarten teachers, on a stellar accomplishment!
