It’s time once again for the Armstrong Winter Holiday Showcase. Our Armstrong students have been preparing to show off their stuff to friends, family members, and loved ones at our annual event next Thursday morning at 9:00 AM. This is an extremely well-attended event, so we encourage you to come early and get a good seat. We’ll reserve a small area in the front for picture taking for parents to use on a short-term basis. Also, Mr. ...
Reading Blast Off
During the last few weeks, we’ve seen our student body come to life on the Armstrong Reading Blast Off. Last week alone we saw seventeen students complete book series—not just books . . . book series. The Reading Blast Off encourages students to pick a good book series, read all the books in that series, and earn a badge to symbolize their accomplishment. By focusing on an entire series rather than a stand-alone book, students always know ...
The Rocketeers Ride Again
There’s music in the air, and no one is sounding better than the Armstrong Rocketeers! This year, our school choir has taken their show on the road with shows at the Valley Fair Mall and the Utah Cultural Celebration Center. Needless to say, they are a hit wherever they go. The Rocketeers are an after-school choir of 3rd-6th graders who meet to rehearse every Tuesday afternoon. They are directed by Debbie Kirby and Becky Crowther, and ...

A National Board Certified Teacher
We want to congratulate Mrs. Farnsworth for being recognized as a National Board Certified teacher this week. This is an enormous accomplishment that requires years worth of work through coursework; classroom observation, reflection, and observation; and a dissertation-like write up. To date, only 230 Utah teachers have achieved National Board Certification. Created for teachers, by teachers, National Board Certification is a voluntary, ...
Canal
The development around our school continues at a break-neck pace. With it comes additional logistic and safety issues to consider—none more pressing than the exposed canal right near our walking routes. At the Armstrong in Action assembly this week, Officer Wright from the WVPD visited with our students about the canal. We’ve asked students to never go beyond the sidewalk near the canal to the east of the school and to avoid the canal behind ...
Weather Station Event
On Thursday, December 11th, at 2:00 PM, the Armstrong Weather Station will be officially unveiled. This university-caliber weather station is the result of the generous donations of many, many individuals and corporations and hundreds of hours of legwork by Mr. Robert Goodick, one of Neil Armstrong Academy’s patrons. The station includes equipment that returns precise enough data to provide the Armstrong students a seat at the ...
