Every Wednesday over summer break, you can find the Oakcrest Elementary School staff building bonds, strengthening their bodies, and finding adventure. Under the leadership of the school’s wellness coordinator, Tracey Davies, educators and staff members regularly slip on hiking boots to explore scenic trails across the Wasatch Front.

Dubbed “Wellness Wednesdays,” the initiative encourages the staff to step away from their school and connect outdoors. The group’s outings have taken them across a wide variety of local terrain, from Farmington Creek Waterfall Trail to Stewart Falls near Sundance. Beyond promoting physical health and stress reduction, the shared outdoor challenges have fostered team building and coworker connections.

The Oakcrest Hiking Club shows no signs of slowing down, proving that for these educators, building a supportive school culture is a journey best taken one hike at a time.

To bring the global literature unit to life, students traded in their usual school clothes for fancy attire, including sparkling crowns, tiaras, and ballgowns. The event was a family affair, with parents and older siblings asked to join their first-graders as their royal dance partners. Teachers taught everyone how to dance the Waltz.

Connecting physical activities such as dance and dress-up to classroom texts helps younger students engage more deeply with the reading material, making the core virtues of the curriculum both memorable and impactful.

Thank you to the teachers and staff at Terra Linda Elementary School for putting together such an incredible and memorable event for students and families.
