Submitted by corallee.findlay on Wed, 10/16/2013 - 16:22

The SHHS grade school mentoring program was designed to help the students enrolled in Mr. Jamsa's sociology class have a real world experience in observing the social interactions of elementary aged students.  Mentoring also provides the SHHS students an opportunity to develop leadership skills as they teach and encourage younger students who need the extra support from older peers.

Foothills 2013-2014 Student Council

Submitted by corallee.findlay on Mon, 10/07/2013 - 14:11

We had over 50 applications for student council this year.  How exciting to have so many students want to make Foothills Elementary a better place to be.  Each applicant was asked to write a one page essay on how they could be a productive student council member.  The essays were fabulous and made selecting 12 student council members a difficult thing to do.
