A 5^th grade student at Butterfield Canyon Elementary School and one at Oak Leaf Elementary School received the surprise of a lifetime when police showed up to invite them, and all of their  classmates to step outside.

Butterfield Canyon student, Jaeden Allen, and Oak Leaf Elementary student Cage Hales were two of hundreds who entered an art contest sponsored by the Herriman Police Department D.A.R.E. program. The contest challenged elementary school students to come up with a new design, using their art skills, to create the coolest looking D.A.R.E. cars out there. The winning designs were placed on the entire exterior of two separate Herriman Police D.A.R.E. vehicles.

On Wednesday, police brought the D.A.R.E. vehicles with their new looks to Butterfield Canyon and Oak Leaf Elementary Schools. They covered the cars with a parachute, and then invited the winning students and their classmates outside for the big surprise. Everyone was treated to the unveiling of the cool D.A.R.E. cars with the winning student artwork.

After the unveiling, police threw a pizza party for Jaeden and Cage to celebrate the occasion.

She has a flare for spelling the most difficult of words anywhere, anytime and now an amazing Daybreak Elementary School 6th grade student will soon be competing with the best in the nation. Sophia Montana was crowned co-champion of the Regional Spelling Bee last week. Sophia’s co-champion is an 8th grader.

Sophia excitedly shared the amazing news with her Principal Leslie Ewell over spring break. It was a really tough competition. After the first round, the field of competitors was narrowed down from 160 spellers to 20 and then the competition went on for 18 more rounds.

The whole spelling bee lasted five hours. Sophia won after correctly spelling pneumatocyst.

She will now go on to represent Utah at the National Scripps Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. in May!

Congratulations, Sophia. We will be cheering you on at Nationals in Washington D.C.!!!
