Help Eagle Mountain Know What's Working
The city has partnered with Utah State University to survey residents on community well-being. The results go directly to city leaders and help shape where Eagle Mountain focuses next. It takes about 5-15 minutes (depending on how detailed you want to get) and is a clear way to make your voice heard, anonymously. Take the survey.

Storytime at the Library (All Month)
Got a little one who needs to get out of the house? The library runs free Storytime sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays all month long. Kids build early reading and speaking skills through interactive stories and songs, and you get a structured outing that doesn't cost a thing. Tuesdays even have an afternoon slot if mornings are tough with nap schedules or school drop-off. Designed for preschoolers, but all ages are welcome. Space is limited. Check times and details.

Eagle Mountain is about to get its own gym.

The owner has said the opening is just weeks away, but no official date has been announced. Follow their Facebook page for the grand opening announcement.

Granite Credit Union is building its first Utah County branch at the corner of N Ranches Pkwy and Cedar Fort Rd / SR‑73. Once it opens, it will be another option for residents who want to bank locally. Follow Granite CU on Facebook for updates.

Cedar Valley High School has its own student-run soda shop, and it's open to everyone. Jet Fuel Soda Shack sits on the north side of the CVHS football stadium at 1389 Aviator Ave. Students run the shop to help cover their extracurricular fees, so every purchase supports CVHS students directly.

They offer 16+ sodas, 25+ mix-in flavors, and homemade cookies baked by students. Prices start at $1.65 for a 16 oz. Drive-thru available. They don’t accept cash. School year hours: Monday-Friday, 2:30-7:00 PM. See the menu and order online.

Lots going on this month. Know a neighbor who could use this? Forward it their way.

See you around,
