We want to give a big thank you to U.S. Representative Blake Moore for visiting Haven Bay Elementary on Monday! 🇺🇸✨
Representative Moore, who serves Utah’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, spoke with our 4th–6th graders about how a bill makes its way through the House and Senate, what it takes to be elected, and the importance of treating others with kindness—even when we have differences. 💙 Our Herons also had the chance to ask him questions about his job, his family, and government in general. Representative Moore was very impressed with the thoughtful questions our students asked! 👏👏
We are so grateful for the opportunity our students had to learn firsthand about government and leadership. 🦅📚

🎉 Big excitement at Haven Bay yesterday afternoon! 🎉 We rolled out the Heron welcome for a very special guest — Speaker of the House Mike Schultz! 🪶 He spent the afternoon touring our school, stopping into classrooms, chatting with faculty and staff, and even grabbing time in the lunchroom with some of our students. Speaker Schultz had wonderful things to say about the amazing learning happening at Haven Bay and also took time to listen and learn about the educational needs across Weber School District. 💙📚 What an honor to showcase the spirit, talent, and heart of our incredible students, staff, and community!

Today was an amazing day at Haven Bay—we celebrated our Superintendent Summer Reading & Math Awards!

We are so proud of our students for keeping their minds sharp all summer long—way to go, Haven Bay! 💙

🔬💧 Mrs. Burton’s 5th graders turned into real SCIENTISTS on Tuesday! 🧪👩🔬👨🔬 Their mission: to test 4 different clear substances and use their knowledge of science to figure out which one was actually WATER. 💦
With curiosity and teamwork, they tested properties like:
✨ Solubility (what dissolves and what doesn’t)
❄️ Freezing point (brrr… science is cool!)
🌊 Surface tension (water can really “stick” together!)
It was an investigation full of predictions, experiments, and discoveries—and our young scientists proved that learning can be both challenging AND exciting! 🚀 Way to go, 5th graders—you’re making waves in science! 🌟

🚤🐛 Our 5th graders took on a big STEM challenge this week – saving Fred the gummy worm!
In this cooperative team-building activity, students worked in pairs to rescue Fred, who managed to capsize his boat and lose his life preserver. Using only teamwork, problem-solving skills, and plenty of creativity, they had to:
1️⃣ Flip Fred’s boat back over
2️⃣ Slip on his life preserver
3️⃣ Keep him out of the “lake” 🌊
We loved watching students collaborate, communicate, and celebrate their successes together. Way to go, 5th graders – Fred is safe thanks to you! 🎉👏 Pictures of some of our rescuers from Mrs. Burton's class.

Our PTA Board has a few empty seats… and without a full team, we can’t have a PTA. No PTA = no special parties, no fun events, and no extra magic for the students 😱
If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I could help…?” — this is your moment! Even a little help makes a big difference❗️We would love to have you!
💌 Use the Google form to mark what you’re interested in, and the Board will reach out. Let’s save the students' fun 2025-2026 together! 🦸♀️🦸♂️✨
