Butterfield Canyon First Graders Visit the State Senate
First grade students from Butterfield Canyon Elementary School recently visited the Utah State Capitol and the state Senate chamber.
Students met with District 13 State Senator Jacob Anderegg, whose district includes Butterfield Canyon Elementary. They have been studying the importance of rules and laws, so the field trip was a great way to show the students how laws are made and who represents them.
They were even introduced from the Senate floor and received a round of applause!
Mrs. Joos recently received the Crystal Apple Award presented by Mario Pia from Horace Mann. Here is why she was nominated:
