The First-grade students at Foothills loved learning about apples on Apple Day. We did apple math, read about apples, wrote apple stories and best of all ate apples.

With a mix of princesses, fairies and scary creatures the First-grade classes celebrated Halloween. We want to thank all of the parents that came and helped.

The students in Mrs. Lunceford's class sure enjoyed performing their Halloween Readers' Theater for their parents. Many laughs and giggles could be heard from the parents as the children use expression and lots of personality to portray their character.

Mr. Thurgood's Class all dressed up for Halloween. We enjoyed the party and goodies put on by the mothers who volunteered. Thanks for all the fun.

Students and faculty enjoyed a day of Halloween fun.

Just like the ancient Sumerians, sixth grade students in Mrs. Bushman's class learned to write on clay tablets using ancient symbols for words called cuneiform.  Using clay and cuneiform letters to write messages was fun, but the students are very glad they don't have to do this every day! 

On October 4th, the fourth-grade classes at Foothills Elementary held their annual Hoe-Down. The fourth-grade classes learned four new dances; one line dance and three partner dances. They also performed well known dances like, The Macarena, The Bunny Hop, and The Chicken Dance.

We had a tremendous turn out from parents and everyone seemed to be having a blast! The students who came all taught their parents each of the three partner dances with the help of Mr. Haskell. Once the steps were learned, the music began, and the students with their parents were all smiles.
