The fifth graders at Foothills Elementary had a fun time celebrating Colonial Days!  Students were able to make paper, "churn" their own butter, clean the seeds out of cotton, practice weaving and make cards using screen printing! 

Students at Foothills Elementary had a surprise visit from Clifford the Big Red Dog.

I know you’ve heard of the Polar Express, but have you ever heard of the “Pumpkin Express”?  Students and faculty at Foothills Elementary in Salem, Utah have.  Jake Harward of Harward Farms in Springville, Utah donated over 750 pumpkins to Foothills Elementary.  Mr. Harward arrived in the “Pumpkin Express” on October 18, 2012 and personally handed every student and teacher in the school a pumpkin.  Students have enjoyed measuring, weighing, comparing, decorating, and even interviewing their pumpkins.   Foothills Elementary would like to thank Mr.

Foothills Falcons celebrated Red Ribbon Week October 8th -10th by participating in many activities.  On Monday they tied red ribbons outside the school to show the community that Foothills Elementary is a drug free school.  Students also signed a poster pledging to be drug free.

Students at Foothills Elementary are participating in a monthly reading program.  Students are keeping track of how many minutes they read each week.  At the end of the week they are given a slip of paper to put in a container for a monthly drawing.  One student from each class was chosen to watch a movie and eat popcorn with the principal.  Congratulations and remember it "Pays to read!"

What is a great way to start the day?  Students at Foothills Elementary would say, “Reading, of course!”  On Tuesday, October 02, 2012 students brought their parents to school to celebrate the annual “Parents and Pastries”.  Students enjoyed reading books and eating doughnuts with their parents.
