Foothills Falcons took on the challenge to READ!
On Friday, Foothills joined the first-ever Utah Reads statewide Read-A-Thon! For one hour, our Falcons read alongside more than 275,000 students and adults across Utah who set aside time to open a book and read together.
It was amazing to know that from kindergarteners to college students, and readers across our state, we were all turning pages at the same time!
Way to rise to the challenge, Falcons! Keep reading and keep SOARing!

Every Falcon Belongs!
On Wednesday, Mrs. Stoddard and Miss Ledingham wrapped up our month of learning about Connection with Falcon Flight lessons!
Students played Four Corners, talked with Falcons from other classes, discovered things they had in common, celebrated their differences, and practiced ways to help everyone feel included and connected.
Our big takeaway from the day, and from this month:
Be kind. Include everyone. Build connections. Every Falcon belongs!
