            School boundary changes will be affecting Majestic Elementary, Lomond View Elementary and North Ogden Elementary schools.  Boundary proposals have been reviewed by the Board.  Weber School District Board has accepted proposal #1:  This decision means that beginning August 2016, Pleasant View students located along and to the northwest of 1375 West will attend Lomond View Elementary.  North Ogden students located in an area east of 150 West and north of 2200 North will attend North Ogden Elementary.  Principal Dave Wallace at Majestic Elementary says, “It is with heavy hearts that we part ways with Mountaineers that we love.  However, we are excited for their new adventure knowing that the Lomond View Lions and the North Ogden Eagles will welcome them with open arms.”

            Any youth interested volunteering at the Weber County Animal Shelter this summer may do so by filling out a parental permission slip signed on record with the Shelter.  Volunteers ages 14-15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  Over 18 years must submit a background check by Weber County Sheriff’s office.  Volunteers may exercise dogs by walking them on a leash, playing with them, bathing or grooming them.  They must make sure to take dogs out one at a time.  Also, volunteers may take the cats out one at a time and play inside the building in designated areas.  Hours for the animal shelter are:  Monday-Friday 8 am to 6 pm, and is closed on the weekends.  You may call 801-399-8244 for more information about volunteering or visiting the shelter.
