We also want to give a shout-out to the BESD Nutrition Department and our cooks for making this all possible.

Hello North Park! My name is Dax Sederholm and I am the new principal at North Park Elementary. I am so excited to be a part of this school and I can't wait to start meeting you all. I live here in Tremonton and I have 3 (almost 4) little girls. I have taught all the grades from 4th-7th and I loved each year I taught. Last year I was the assistant principal at Golden Spike Elementary. I love to do all things that involve being with my family, being outside, and playing all kinds of sports... so prepare to have some fun out at recess. I will be sending out information about all the fun things like back to school night, teacher assignments, etc. in the coming weeks. So, for now, continue to enjoy your summer and I will see you all in August!

Thank you everyone for your support of all our Grandparent's Days! It was such a pleasure to meet and talk with so many family members and participate with our students in folk dancing. A big shout out goes to Jessica Frehner, our BTS music, who put a lot of time and effort into teaching our North Park Owls the dance.

North Park Staff, Students, and Families, I hope you have a restful, enjoyable Spring Break next week! We will see you back at school on April 10th.

Miss Dacia, our amazing school counselor, has fun activities planned for College and Career Week!

Box Elder School District is pleased to offer All Day Kindergarten next year. Reach out to the school for more information.
