Some of our students participated in the 2022 Utah State Elementary Chess Championship this past weekend. The Foothills Team took 14th place out of the whole state! Congratulations to Ryker Cook, Kale Billings, and Reed Nelson(from VVMS).
Our first and second grade classes enjoyed watching The Three Little Pigs performed by students from Valley View Middle School. The interactive play was a delight and our students loved participating and watching these talented students both on the stage and behind the scenes.
Ms. Elliott's third grade class integrated coding with animal reports. The students research and wrote reports on an animal of their choice. To present this in an engaging way they utilized Makey Makey board, which run off of code. The students created their code and recorded their report which they then programed to play when certain buttons were operated on the Makey Makey boards.
We had a great day celebrating reading on Dr. Seuss' birthday! We started the morning with Parents and Pastries and it was so exciting to see so many families show up. Students dressed up as Dr. Seuss book characters, we had guest readers from Valley View Middle School and Salem Jr High, and enjoyed green eggs and ham for school lunch. We ended the day with every student getting a birthday present, their very own new book to take home with them. It was a fun day!

Foothills Falcons learned what it means to be "Cougar Built" during a schoolwide assembly. BYU athletes and members of their Dunk Team visited the school with Cosmo Cougar. They taught everyone that being "Cougar Built" means that we are Built to Love, Built to Learn, Built to Work, and Built to Connect. They showed off their amazing skills and abilities as the students roared with applause.
