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. Harward for his kindness and generosity.

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.
