The Provo Education Association hosted a luncheon at the Provo City Library for key public education
organizations. Those attending included representatives from the Provo Board of Education, the Provo Chamber of Commerce, the Parent Teacher Association and the Utah School Employees Association. UEA President Sharon Gallagher-Fishbaugh addressed the group.
“Promise me you will try to read every day,” was the request made by Gallagher-Fishbaugh when she read to K-3 students at Provo Peaks Elementary. She made the same plea to the entire student body at Provo’s Lakeview Elementary when she read there. Her reading of Dr. Seuss’ Cat in the Hat was followed by a visit from the famous cat himself.
About 50 teachers attended a teacher meeting that evening at Provo High School prior to a Provo School District Board of Education meeting. Teachers enjoyed sandwiches while discussing a range of topics including the situation in Ogden City School District, legislation being discussed by the State Board of Education and the need for superintendents, administrators, school boards, teachers and others to work together for the
bene
fit of public education and our students.
