Mrs. Scarf's fifth-grade class designed and made their own mice mazes. Students took cardboard boxes and glued cardboard strips to create a maze for their mice to run in. They had a great time creating, building, and racing their mice.

First-grade students created an American flag using their artwork. They each made a picture of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and hung them in the hall. It looks awesome!

Students and faculty at Foothills Elementary enjoyed an assembly from the Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT). The RDT is located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Students learned how to creatively move through space using different elements of dance. Students also enjoyed integrating movement with learning.

Several students were chosen to decorate Valentine cookies with the principal. They were chosen from a drawing. All students that read the required mintues for the month were placed in a drawing. Congratulations and keep reading!

Mrs. Elliott’s class has loved learning about ancient China. They spent time learning about the archeological find of the Terracotta Army created by the first Chinese emperor for whom China was named, Qin (pronounced Chin) in the year 246 BCE. Then, on January 31st, the students celebrated Lunar New Year by performing a lion dance in all the classrooms of the school.

Congratulations to our January Fantastic Falcons!

 Last week the students at Foothills Elementary participated in a Fit Falcon Week. This activity was done to help the children focus on other activities besides watching TV and playing with other electronics. They were given several activities such as walk/running, jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups, and air squats to do each night at home, and repeats of these at school. They were also given some extra ones to do like try a veggie that you had never tried before, encouraging them to eat healthy foods.

We had another successful "It Pays to Read" assembly. Many students won prizes, books, and money.  Great job and keep reading!

Congratulations to Keri Minson in receiving the Classified Employee Award. Thanks for your dedication and hard work. You help make Foothills a great place to be.
