BYU came to Foothills Elementary on September10, 2013 to do their ‘Cougar Strong’ presentation for the fourth grade classes.  The program talked about being drug free and keeping your body healthy.  BYU handed out BYU shirts to every student.  This is a picture of Mr. Haskell’s class showing off their ‘Cougar Pride.’

Wesley Cope, a fourth-grade student at Foothills Elementary, entered and won the drawing contest for Nebo School District's National School Lunch Week.  The theme was "My Favorite Place in the USA."  Wesley's favorite place is the Kennecott Copper Mine (Bingham Canyon Mine) right here in Utah.  

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.

SHHS Wrestling Coach, T.J. Brindley, and several wrestlers came to Foothills and put on an assembly for the studentbody.  SHHS Wrestling Team Captains each talked about the values of hard work, determination, building self-confidence, and never giving up on your dreams.  They also talked about the importance of taking care of our bodies by eating right and exercising.  The students enjoyed participating by trying some of the exercises the wrestlers do to keep their bodies fit.  Thanks SHHS wrestlers for coming.  We had a wonderful time.

As a reward for their daily reading several students were chosen to have popcorn and watch a movie with the principal.
