As the chilly fall weather blows into the Wasatch Front — and the yearly cold and flu season begins to heat up — Canyons District families are encouraged to redouble their efforts, especially in this era of COVID-19, to do daily health checks before bundling up and heading out the door for school.

“Unfortunately, we have had several children with fever, cough, or other COVID symptoms attend school and expose their classmates and school personnel to illness,” said Dr. Dagmar Vitek, Medical Director of the Salt Lake County Health Department, in a statement announcing the availability of new school-level data on the county’s COVID-19 dashboard. “Anyone with COVID symptoms needs to isolate at home for 10 days from when symptoms began or 24 hours after their fever ends, whichever is longer.”

Bell View’s third grade classes are using gardening to learn about how living things grow and develop. Through the generous support of a grant from Utah Agriculture in the Classroom, they received funds to plant both fall and spring gardens.

First, students cleaned out the garden beds to prepare them for plants. Then students planted cold weather vegetables, such as carrots, kale, spinach, and radishes. They also planted flowers in order to create a butterfly habitat for the butterflies they will grow later this year. “I like gardening. I like smelling the flowers,” said an eager third grader.

If you swing by our garden, be sure to look with your eyes. Our plants are fragile. Observe how the plants change and grow over this fall and into next spring.
