William Penn Elementary School is Looking for Help!Our school year at William Penn Elementary is underway and going smoothly. As a previous school supporter/local business, we want to provide you with the opportunity to help provide an amazing year for our students. Our school is experiencing a major transition due to a school merge between William Penn Elementary and Millcreek Elementary. As a result, the school population increased by about 20% and our current enrollment is 670 students! We have a faculty of 40 and about 20 paraprofessionals for a total of 60 staff members; thus making school sponsorships even more vital this year. Dr. Nichole Higgins is our principal, our PTA President is Sidsie Drysdale, and I, April Flores, serve as the PTA president elect.
One of our major events is our Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, where our students will learn about Ruby Bridges and how to be welcoming and kind to everyone. If you’d like to help with this event, we’d appreciate the support. You’re also welcome to help with other smaller events such as Wonderful Wednesdays in which we provide some type of treat, lunch, breakfast, flowers, drinks or snacks to our staff once a month. Attached below is our full sponsorship letter and details explaining our events and how your donation makes a difference. There are ample opportunities to support our school and we are appreciative of any size monetary donation, food donation, donation of products or services, and the donation of volunteered time. Each donation makes a difference! Please know that our PTA is a nonprofit and that we have two levels of contribution: - GOLD LEVEL - $500.00+
- We will prominently display a banner with your company’s image or logo outside of our school along Siggard Drive.
- All Silver Level benefits
- SILVER LEVEL - $250.00-$499
- Appreciation shared for your company sponsorship through the William Penn PTA Instagram account.
- Recognition in the William Penn Pennline Monthly Newsletter.
If you prefer to make a monetary donation, please make checks payable to: William Penn Elementary PTA. I can either pick up the check in person or you can mail it to the school address: William Penn Elementary, ATTN: William Penn PTA, 1670 Siggard Dr., Millcreek, UT 84106. If your contribution is $250+, please send us your business logo as a jpeg or pdf file so that we may begin your benefits as soon as possible. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them to the best of my ability. We look forward to hearing from you and hope to form a partnership with you. Thank you for your time, consideration, and possible support. You and your companies make a positive impact on so many of our community members and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Epic Fitness Wellness Corner - 4 Harmful Health Myths that are Speeding Up the Obesity Epidemic - Part 1By: Ben Fogel There is more questionable advice and so-called “experts” out there in the health and wellness world that want you to subscribe to “their” way of thinking, and that usually fattens their pocketbooks as well. This very binary “This is bad, this is good” thinking when it comes to your health can be really harmful. There is a great deal of misinformation out there. Some of it is from simple misunderstanding, and some of it is willful deception to push an agenda, but almost all of it has absolutely no basis in science and facts. We are going to discuss and bust 4 myths that continue to get a lot of attention in the news media and on the internet. The hope is that you can decipher the truth from the lies and make the best decision for your body and your health. The truth of the matter is this – Currently almost 40% of ALL Americans are considered to be overweight or obese. This number is set to SKYROCKET to 60% of ALL Americans by 2030 (barely 6 years away!). I feel so strongly that so much of this has to do with all of the myths that are floating around in the health and fitness industry. It is our job as professionals to give you the truth, so that is what we will be doing below. We will discuss the first 2 myths in part one of this series, and the second two myths will be shared in part two. |

St. Mark's Hospital News! We're excited to announce that St. Mark's Hospital has been recognized on the 100 Top Hospitals list by Fortune/PINC AI for 2023! This is the ninth time we've made the list, and we are one of just 32 hospitals in HCA Healthcare to achieve this designation this year! The list focuses on excellence in patient outcomes, experience, operational efficiency, financial health, and community impact. Recognitions like this inspire me- and hopefully, you- to strive for higher performance and provide added value to our patients and communities. A little about the scoring: According to Fortune/PINC AI, this year's 100 Top Hospitals study used a balanced scorecard approach focused on clinical, operational, financial, and patient perception to evaluate 2,644 short-term, acute care, non-federal U.S. hospitals. Unlike ranking programs that require hospitals to apply for evaluation, the program is strictly based on performance and publicly available data, including Medicare reports and patient satisfaction data. Compared to other hospitals, the study found the top 100 hospitals had better outcomes, including lower mortality rates, fewer complications, lower healthcare-associated infection rates, and shorter lengths of stay. In addition to scoring among the top 100, St. Mark's Hospital was among 18 HCA healthcare hospitals to receive the Everest Award for setting national benchmarks for the fastest, most consistent improvement rates and highest current-year performance. This additional distinction recognizes the dedication of our leadership teams here at St. Mark's, who developed and executed strategies that helped drive the highest rates of performance improvement over the five years measured in the study.
