Dear Parent/Guardian:
Like you, we are just learning that Governor Gary R. Herbert, State Superintendent Syd Dickson, and the Utah State Board of Education “announced today that Utah’s K-12 public schools will extend their dismissal [soft closure] through Friday, May 1st.” Their press release further stated that they will “continue to evaluate the situation to make a determination about the remaining school year” and that:

In Mrs. Gregory’s class we’ve been learning about ecosystems. We learned about how species interact within ecosystems. An example of this is mutualism where both species benefit, also known as a win-win situation. We also learned about food chains in an ecosystem. We learned that food chains show the transfer of ENERGY. We are also participating in March Mammal Madness, a tournament like March Madness in basketball but with animals instead of basketball teams.
