Today we had a hot air balloon out back for our pep rally to remind and encourage E. Layton students to uplift and build each other up. In a world where it's too easy to tear one another down, we want our students to learn to come together to uplift and encourage one another.

Parents can help reinforce this at home by encouraging your student to look for ways to help others in our community, not just at school. It can be as simple as helping a neighbor bring in their trash can or holding a door open for someone. Together, we can uplift our community.
