Yesterday, we celebrated fall graduates from high schools across Provo City School District. Every student took a different road to this moment, and every diploma represents a story of hard work, determination, and the people who helped along the way.

There was plenty to celebrate as students crossed the stage, families cheered, and another group of graduates stepped into the next chapter of their lives.

To our fall graduates, congratulations! We hope you felt the pride in the room yesterday. You’ve earned it, and we’re excited for all that lies ahead.

From firefighting and engineering to professional athletics and fashion design, Shoreline Middle School students explored a wide range of careers during Wednesday’s Career Day.

Among the presenters was Kirk Chambers, a Provo High graduate, former NFL player, and current football coach. Chambers shared some of the realities of professional sports that don’t always make the highlight reels, including injuries, taxes, the relatively short length of a professional career, and planning for life after football.

Students also heard from two-time Olympian Marsha Baird, a licensed clinical social worker at Timpanogos Elementary School. Baird competed in the heptathlon at the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games and has served Provo students for more than two decades. Her presentation asked students to consider what it takes to become a professional at anything they choose to pursue.

Elsewhere, Provo firefighters brought their equipment into classrooms, explaining how they check vital signs, train for emergencies, and prepare for the demands of their work.

Engineers, librarians, fashion designers, social workers, and many other professionals shared their own experiences.

Many of the presenters were Provo City School District alumni, returning to introduce the next generation to the possibilities ahead of them.

Thank you to Shoreline’s staff and all our community presenters for helping students explore their interests and see the work behind the careers!

“Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt lonely.”

Children’s author Karla Arenas Valenti posed the question to students during recent visits to Franklin and Timpanogos Elementary Schools, where she shared her picture book María Mariposa as part of Operation Literacy’s Book Drop program. The program is organized by the nonprofit Operation Literacy that brings authors to Title I schools and provides students with books of their own.

Throughout the reading, Valenti occasionally spoke Spanish and paused to ask students questions about the story and its illustrations.

“What is she feeling in this picture?” she asked.

Illustrated by Ana Ramírez González, María Mariposa follows a young girl from México adjusting to her first day of school in the United States. A magical butterfly brings her memories of home, giving her confidence and a colorful pair of wings. But when María encounters an unfamiliar language and struggles to make friends, she begins to doubt herself.

The story’s turning point comes when María realizes that the magic she associates with the butterfly has always belonged to her.

Valenti describes that magic through the colors of María’s memories: bougainvillea pink, mango yellow, sunset golds, jacaranda purples, turquoise, and deep ocean blue. They are reminders of the home, family, and experiences that remain part of her, even in an unfamiliar place.

Through her questions, Valenti encouraged students to consider María’s loneliness, recognize her feelings, and think about what helps people feel they belong.

Every student received a free copy of María Mariposa to take home. In the book, Valenti writes that María carries “sunset golds, jacaranda purples, turquoise, and deep ocean blue” within her. And, at Franklin and Timpanogos, students chose their own colors and gave them wings.

We thank our educators and Book Drop for organizing and offering this educational experience, and we thank Karla Arenas Valenti for her visit.

Timpanogos Elementary rounded out its Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations with a visit from Fernando Pérez, Consul General of El Salvador in Utah.

Speaking with students in Spanish, Pérez shared stories about El Salvador’s customs, traditions and history. Students learned about La Cofradía de las Flores y las Palmas, a celebration in Panchimalco recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and the maquilíshuat, one of El Salvador’s national trees, known for its brilliant pink blossoms.

Each student received Salvadoran flags, stickers and coloring materials featuring the country’s traditional clothing and cultural symbols.

The visit concluded a series of classroom conversations with international representatives, following earlier visits from Peruvian Consul General Yesica Fonseca Martínez and Spain’s Honorary Consul Baldomero Lago, who visited alongside United Nations communications officer Felipe Queipo.

Across all three visits, students had opportunities to put their Spanish language skills to work while discovering the different traditions and histories of the Spanish-speaking world.

Timpanogos Elementary students continued their Hispanic Heritage Month learning today with a visit from Baldomero Lago, Honorary Consul of Spain, and Felipe Queipo, a communications officer with the United Nations.

Students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about Spain’s language, history, traditions and culture directly from their guests.

When Lago was asked what he hoped children in Utah would learn about Spain, he began with the language many Timpanogos students are already studying through the school’s Spanish Dual Language Immersion program.

“If you speak English and Spanish, you can travel almost anywhere in the world,” Lago told students. “Language is very, very important.”

Lago also encouraged students to look beyond language to Spain’s long history and cultural traditions, including its art, literature, music, dance and food. He described Mediterranean cuisine and shared examples of traditions students might encounter in Spain.

One example was the belén, an elaborate nativity display found in churches and homes during the Christmas season. Lago described displays that can include moving figures, flowing water, shepherds and dancers, and told students that visiting them is one of his favorite traditions when he returns to Spain.

Lago and Queipo’s visit to Timpanogos Elementary followed a recent visit from Peruvian Consul General Yesica Fonseca Martínez, giving students the chance to hear firsthand how a shared language connects distinct histories, traditions and cultures across the Spanish-speaking world.

We thank our consuls and educators for providing opportunities during Hispanic Heritage Month to connect the Spanish they are learning in school with the many countries, cultures and communities where the language is spoken.

October’s ProvoREADS Family Reading Challenge is simple: read together! 📚

Our district specialists and teachers offered a bunch of reading advice to make reading easier and deepen understanding. Here are a few ideas they shared:

Read out loud. Even when children can read on their own, hearing fluent reading helps with vocabulary, expression, and comprehension.
Let your child choose the book. Interest matters. Favorites, graphic novels, picture books, and rereading all count.
Ask questions before you read. Ask, “What do you think this will be about?” or “What do you notice on the cover?”
Pause and think aloud while you read. Try, “What do you think will happen next?” or “Why do you think that happened?”
Talk after reading. Ask about a favorite part, a surprising moment, how they feel about a character, or what they would change about the story.
Read the world around you. Menus, signs, billboards, recipes, captions on TV, instructions, and labels are all chances to practice reading.
Model reading yourself. Let children see adults reading for information, work, fun, or everyday life.
Don’t rush to give the answer. Give your child a little time to think, sound out a word, or explain what they notice.
Reread favorites. Familiar books help children build confidence, fluency, and understanding.
Keep it fun!
This month, find a few minutes to read, talk, and enjoy a story together. You’ll never regret time spent together!

At Shoreline Middle School, Dallin Chadwick can usually be found in the hallway between classes, greeting students, giving high fives and checking in on how they are doing. Teacher Haley Gillian and student Moises Lamoni Rodriguez nominated Dallin for the Provo Way Award for the kindness, clarity and care he brings to his teaching. “He is just so kind to others and always knows what they need,” Moises wrote. “He is just so kind to others and always knows what they need,” Moises wrote, adding that Dallin “has a way of teaching that is easy to understand.”

Dallin has also earned the trust of his colleagues. Though only in his second year of teaching, he serves on Shoreline’s department chair committee, where Gillian said his input is valued.

Congratulations, Dallin, on receiving the Provo Way Award and on making relationships part of the work every day.
