Be the Magic!

Students at Foothills Elementary created “magic” by participating in several activities throughout the week. On Tuesday, January 20th, PTA volunteers spent 30 min. in the each classroom teaching a 30 minute lesson on gratitude. During this time students were given the opportunity to write thank you notes to their teachers.
