The Panther Prowl

Week of Jan. 6th-10th

From Mrs. Taylor

Reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the new one, I was reminded of an article about a friend who attended Harvard’s Educational Leadership Program. His professor described him with the Latin phrase "non sibi," meaning "not for self." Inspired, I decided to adopt this motto. I've discovered that when I focus on serving others, my life gains deeper meaning and purpose.

Another Latin phrase I've embraced is "In Loco Parentis," which means "In Place of Parent." At Mt. Nebo, faculty and staff take on the responsibility of acting as parents to our students while they are under our stewardship. The daily care and concern for our students is remarkable. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your child's village and for being a part of our Mt. Nebo family. Happy New Year!

Birthdays!

Caramel is FOUND!

Mrs. Broderick would like to thanks all the students who were concerned about her snake "Caramel" who went missing before Christmas break! She was impressed with the concern for her snake and all the "Wanted Posters" that were made and for students looking high and low!!

Parents,

We are presenting information on UVU Prep in our 6th grade Math classes today and wanted to pass information along to you about this amazing program. UVU Prep is an early STEM and Engineering summer program offered through Utah Valley University. The program is a great opportunity for students who excel in math and science to get hands-on experience in the field while earning early high school credit. The application deadline is January 31st. If your student is interested, be sure to watch the video we presented in class. Also, please see the attached flyer. Every year, a handful of Mt. Nebo students attend UVU Prep, and we would love to see more of our students benefit from this amazing opportunity!

We know that transportation from our end of the valley is always a concern. UVU offers UTA vouchers for students to ride the bus to and from campus, and many Mt. Nebo families get together to carpool. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to the program coordinator at UVU, Marianne Parker: mparker@uvu.edu 801-863-6356

Best,

MNMS Counseling Department

Padres,

Presentamos información sobre UVU Prep en nuestras clases de artes del lenguaje de sexto grado el lunes y queríamos transmitirles información sobre este increíble programa. UVU Prep es un programa de verano temprano de ingeniería y STEM que se ofrece a través de la Universidad del Valle de Utah. El programa es una gran oportunidad para que los estudiantes que se destacan en matemáticas y ciencias obtengan experiencia práctica en el campo mientras obtienen créditos tempranos de la escuela secundaria. La fecha límite de solicitud es el 31 de enero. Si su estudiante está interesado, asegúrese de ver el video que presentamos en clase. Además, consulte el folleto adjunto. El año pasado tuvimos un récord de 11 estudiantes de Mt. Nebo que asistieron a UVU Prep, ¡y nos encantaría ver que más estudiantes se beneficien de esta increíble oportunidad!

Sabemos que el transporte desde nuestra punta del valle siempre es una preocupación. UVU ofrece vales de UTA para que los estudiantes viajen en autobús hacia y desde el campus, y muchas familias de Mt. Nebo se reúnen para compartir el viaje. Si tiene preguntas adicionales, no dude en comunicarse con la coordinadora del programa de UVU, Marianne Parker: mparker@uvu.edu 801-863-6356

Mejor,

Departamento de Consejería de MNMS
