PTA Reflections Program

From each of the boys, I received this little pink slip titled Reflections Theme 2009-2010: "Beauty is. . ." Uh, what's that? I got that it was some sort of arts contest, but what was the point. So I looked it up at www.ptareflections.org:

The PTA Reflections Program is designed to enhance a quality arts education by providing an opportunity for students to explore their artistic talents and receive positive recognition for their efforts.

When children express themselves through words, pictures, music, dance, and other art forms, they grow intellectually and socially. They learn to analyze their thoughts, feelings, and ideas; learn to look at things, people, and experiences in a fresh and exciting way; and become more interested in the ideas and works of others.

Oh, ok! On with the details of the contest. There is no cost to enter. Students, kindergarten to sixth grade, may submit works in each of these arts areas: (read the requirements over carefully for the category that your child wishes to enter as they may be turned back for not following entry directions)

Dance choreography
Film production
Literature
Musical composition
Photography
Visual arts
Theatre Arts &
3-D arts (sculpture, jewelry, mobiles, etc)

As with any student activity, parent involvement and support are very important. But parents must remember that student artists need to be responsible for their own work. Children must make their own decisions about what to create and what to enter in the Reflections Program . . . Students should simply do their best; crooked lines, incorrect musical notes, or misspelled words do not disqualify anyone. ~http://www.ptareflections.org/cs/about_reflections

Entry forms will be available in the Mount Mahogany office on Thursday, October 1st.
All entries are due Thursday, October 22nd.
Winners will be announced at the November Student of the Month Assembly (during the school day)

Contact Wendy Cook (wmcook11@msn.com or 796-8974) if you have any questions or if you would like to judge Music, Film & Video, or Theatre Arts this year.

Brekke Felt was a judge last year!

Statesmen Literature Discussions

On Sept. 24th we will be discussing Thoreau's work "Walking". You can find it at http://www.ecotopia.org/ehof/thoreau/walking.html. It is written in red so I would recommend copying and pasting it into a word doc.

Remember, this discussion will be open to all family members.

Location: Daines' condo #3
Time: 6:30

Health And Safety Week

Starting on Monday, September 21 is Health and Safety Week at Mount Mahogany.
Each day has a theme and a fun way for the kids to participate.

Monday:
Everyone is Different! It is great to be me and you to be you. Come to school with Crazy Hair.
Tuesday:
Exercise to have fun and be healthy. Wear your sweats, favorite sports jersey or uniform day.

Wednesday:
Use your head! Wear your helmet to school

Thursday:
Walk away from danger (internet or stranger). Crazy socks or mismatched shoes will help you on your way.

Picture Day is also on Thursday. If you are looking for an alternative to the traditional school pictures, check out Brekke's website: Day Dreamers Photograpy. Although, I think she's going to post more about it on here.

Friday:

Saturday:
Don't forget to support the Mt Mahogany Rampage 5K. (a map of the course)
Rampage Pancake Breakfast in front of Macey's, $2 per person.

Emergency Preparedness Snack
On Tuesday, don't forget to send in an Emergency Preparedness Snack to school for your child. This snack will be stored at school all year long in case an emergency situation was to occur during school hours. Write your child's name on a ziplock baggie and place a granola bar/crackers and juice/water inside. Make sure the snack is well packaged and won't get stale.

Internet Safety Seminar
Thursday, September 24th at 7:00 pm in the school gym.

Learn the best methods for keeping your children safe on the internet!
The goal of this parent-only educational meeting is to teach parents of all technical skills levels how to keep kids safe on the internet. More importantly, we will discuss how to help kids grow up in an environment where the internet is all-pervasive.

Every participant will learn how to access free software to help you immediately implement these ideas in your home . When you leave this seminar, you will have the tools and knowledge you need to keep your kids safe on the internet.

Some of the items that will be discussed include:
* dangers of the internet - instant messaging, chatting, social networking sites, pornography, cyber-bullying, and more
* teaching children to be safe on the internet, setting internet, usage rules for your home and outside your home
* using internet filter to protect children, including amazing new filters just released in the last few months.

If you have any questions, please call Sam Farnsworth, the Utah PTA technology advisor at (801)830-3112.

A Light at the End of the Hard Water Tunnel

I love dishwashers. You put dirty dishes in, add some detergent, push a few buttons, and--voila!--clean dishes! But there is nothing more frustrating than putting dirty dishes in, adding some detergent, pushing a few buttons, and being rewarded with dishes that are still, curiously, dirty. Our dishwasher hasn't been getting our dishes clean for a while now. After weeks of running each load twice or having to sort through the "clean" load to pick out the few items that actually appeared to be clean, I started trying every remedy I could think of. I ran vinegar through a couple cycles, changed detergent, and ran a cycle with a specially formatted dishwasher disinfectant and cleaner. But still no clean dishes. They weren't horribly dirty. They were just coated in a white film and all the glassware looked cloudy. Not very appetizing. I finally realized that this could be due to hard water. Don't laugh. I didn't grow up with hard water, so I've never really had to deal with it before. From what I hear, though, most of us in this area are dealing with it on a daily basis.

With this new hypothesis, I went to Smith's and scanned the dishwashing aisle one last time. Figuring it couldn't hurt, I brought home a container of Lemi Shine (www.lemishine.com). It claimed to be a champ at battling hard water. And let me tell you, it is. I ran my first load with it last night and practically cried tears of joy at the miracle before me when I opened the dishwasher door at the end of the cycle. Clean dishes! I'd forgotten the sparkle and shine of truly clean dishes! Hooray!This fantastic product is also totally natural--not a phosphate in sight. I found it at Smith's, but I'm sure other local retailers carry it. It is a bit pricey. I think the 12 oz. container I bought ran me a little over $4 and it will last about 18 loads. However, on www.lemishine.com, they sell a 5 gallon bucket that brings the cost down to about $2.50 per 12 ozs. For regular use, you only fill up your main detergent receptacle with it and use regular detergent in the other.

Happy dish washing!

Found Dog

Friday night a gentleman found a little white dog in the LDS church parking lot. Long story short we ended up with him. Please call Janae or Jared at 801-785-9859 if he is yours.

Spotlight: Raven Haymond

I am the mother of two young children who fill my days with hugs, snuggles, and various cereal products. We've lived in Pleasant Grove for two years and I love the fact that there are fields right across from our building and horses just a short walk away. On the musical side, I play the violin. I am currently taking fiddling lessons and am also a member of the Pleasant Grove Orchestra. My addiction to good books came in handy when I studied English for my B.A. and my M.A. and my husband's talent as a ballroom dancer led me to write a thesis on ballroom dance culture in Utah. I've just started a training program with the hopes of running a 5-K sometime this fall. I never thought I'd be any sort of runner. Finally, I am a dark chocolate person.

Why mini cakes? My mother teaches art classes out of her home in North Carolina and happened to be having classes one week when I was visiting them this past year. Since I had taken some cake decorating classes, she asked me to teach some basic techniques to her students. I knew that I wanted each child to have their own cake to decorate, but time, space, and budget didn't allow for dozens of full-sized cakes. I was standing at her kitchen counter one day mulling this over when I had the miniature cookie cake idea. We could take 4-5 cookies, stack them, fill and frost them with buttercream, and each child would have their own, proportionate, miniature cake. The cakes were a hit with the kids who enjoyed building them and decorating them with simple piping details. The took home miniature cakes and I brought the idea back to Utah, wondering if I could sell these miniature cakes. I decided to just give it a try and that's how Dollhouse Cakes was born.

For full details, you can visit www.dollhousecakes.com . Basically, I make customized miniature cookies cakes. The customer chooses the flavor of the cookies and the flavor of the frosting from my menu of choices and together we design their cakes. I have various levels of decoration to suit different tastes and budgets and you choose the number of cakes you want. One cake makes a sweet treat for one person and a dozen cakes can give each birthday party guest there very own miniature cake. Each slice looks just like a miniature layered cake and the flavor combinations are pretty delicious. They are fun and different way to celebrate any occasion.

As a mother, I've found it important to have some kind of creative outlet that allows me to work and express myself apart from my children. Having various activities like playing the violin and making these cakes refreshes me and reminds me of the person I am outside of my mothering responsibilities. At the same time, I prefer these activities to work around my mommy schedule, not against it. Starting up Dollhouse Cakes has been a blast. Working with my husband to design the website and baking trial cakes was exciting and invigorating. It's fun now to receive actual orders and know that someone out there actual likes the miniature cakes. It's nice, as a mother, to have that concrete validation and I think it's good for my kids to see that life is about taking chances, creating, and trying new things. I guess it's just nice to have something that is completely mine and that gives me a space to be creative. It doesn't hurt that I'm creating with buttercream and cookies that always need taste testing.

Box Tops & money for schools

Kai is obsessed with collecting Box Tops. Last year, it was such a thrill for him to bring a snack bagful of labels with the hope of winning a prize for bringing the most in. He did it a couple of times. Ah, victory!

Even though it's only 10 cents a Box Top, it adds up to make a huge difference for the students. Box Top earnings can go towards upgrading technology, purchasing of much needed school equipment and supplies, introducing accelerated math and reading programs, aiding the school chorus, and helping the PTA fund various school programs and activities for the children, including rewards and incentives for students and teachers.

Last year, Mount Mahogany was able to earn $1376. Their goal this year is to earn $1,651.

Mount Mahogany Elementary or Pleasant Grove Junior High School could earn up to $40,000, just by asking family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to cut out the Box Top labels on any number of items and brands (General Mills, Betty Crocker, Toaster Strudels, Kleenex, Huggies, Pillsbury, etc. . )

If you would like to help, start collecting your Box Tops. Send them to school with your kids or your neighbors' kids. Once a week Mount Mahogany does a prize drawing. I believe it's on Fridays. This week Coby will be turning in 30 Box Tops. That's $3 for the school. Woo hoo!

Other Ways to help

Big Clip is giving away 1,000,000 bonus box tops. That's $100,000. You can enter daily for more chances to win. Winners will be selected in early November.

Room Mom Swap

Who all signed up to be a Room Mom/Parent Volunteer (I prefer the term Room Volunteer)???

Anyone interested in a "watch my little one who is not in school" swap? It'll certainly be easier for me to help out in the boys' classes if I have more options of who I can leave Liam with. Oh, and sometimes Coby.

Let me know if you are interested in participating in this.

Momtessori

We are looking for children in the community with children between 2 1/2 and 5. If you are interested please contact Janae Daines at 801-785-9859 or email: janaedaines@gmail.com. Please let Janae know by the 11th.

The Montessori Method of education is a model which serves the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs of children of all levels of mental and physical ability as they live and learn in a natural, mixed-age group which is very much like the society they will live in as adults.

Maria Montessori believed that children could learn a great deal more than expected if the learning environment were properly prepared for their needs and interests. Through her work she developed a method which is now referred to as the Montessori Method. The Montessori method is an integrated approach to education that takes into account individual variations in a child's development and focuses on educating the whole child.

Hobo Spiders and Spraying your units

Last week I found a hobo spider in my yard. Besides me, two other townhomes have found these spiders inside their units. Because of this several of us our having our units sprayed inside and out. Normally the HOA will take care of the outside, but not the inside. The people we have called, TNT, sprayed our unit and the Gibbons unit last fall when we were spotting the black widows and they did a great job. The spray is pet and child safe and VERY effective.

They normally charge $85 to come out and spray, but they have blocked off a couple hours for us and will do anyone who is interested in having their unit's sprayed for $50 each tomorrow morning. Townhomes and ground level condos are the ones I would reccomend this service for the most. Hobo's can be dangerous as are Black Widows and it is getting to mating season for them so now is a good time to spray.

If you want your unit sprayed, please call me at 801-357-9470 and let me know and I will have them come do yours in the morning also. Payment to them will be do at the time of spraying.

Thanks so much!
Brekke Felt

Megan Martin also let me know that the company the HOA has contracted is spraying today and tomorrow also and they will do the inside of your unit for $25. I do not know the company or anything about what they spray. I will let you know when I get that information.

This is exactly what the spider I have dead in a jar in my garage looks like. The one we found is about the size of a black widow.
