The Third-Grade Invention Convention was a very enjoyable event. Parents came and enjoyed viewing all of the wonderful creativity on display. We also enjoyed having 2nd and 4th grades come view our inventions.

Students spent the week learning about internet safety. The theme for this year was "I've Got the Power!" Each day students and faculty had the opportunity to partcipate in different activites and earn tickets for prize drawings.  Thanks to the PTA for a fun-filled week!

The PTA is sponsoring White Ribbon Week (Internet Safety Week). The theme for this year is "I've Got the Power!"  Throughout the week students will learn about internet safety and participate in different themed days.  Monday's theme was "Protect your mind!"  Students were taught to "crash and tell" if anything online makes them feel uncomfortable.  Students were encouraged to wear hats to show that they will "protect" them minds.

Mrs. Tanner from the University of Utah Marriott Library Book Arts Program spent a whole day with fifth-grade students at Foothills Elementary in Salem, Utah.  She shared with them a “treasure chest” of rare books.  Students were able to view and handle hand-painted scrolls, a clay tablet, a palm leaf book, and more.  Students discovered how to make a variety of books and were able to “write” on their very own clay tablet.  

Students and faculty at Foothills Elementary enjoyed an assembly from A.R.T.S., Inc. (Artistic Resource for Teachers and Students).  The Acting-up Theater Company performed the show “Act-Ademics”.  It was a fun, energetic, and very educational show.  The performing group used theater, puppetry, and audience participation to demonstrate how dance, drama, and music can be integrated with math, reading, and science every day.
