📚✨ Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is HERE! May 5–9 ✨📚
This week, we’re celebrating the incredible teachers and staff who shape our stories every day at Foothills. Our theme is “Teachers are like good books; they can change you forever.” Let’s fill the week with gratitude and fun as we show them just how much they mean to us!
📣 Monday – Kind Words Count
Like the first page of a great book, a compliment can make a lasting impression! Share kind words with teachers and staff.
✍️ Tuesday – Notes of Gratitude
Write a thoughtful note to your teacher! Free notecards will be available in the foyer before school.
🙌 Wednesday – High Five Day!
Give teachers and staff a high five in the halls—because every chapter needs a little joy!
🎁 Thursday – Gift Giving (Optional)
Bring a little gift for your teacher—homemade, from their “likes list,” or their Amazon wish list. Every gesture, big or small, is appreciated! You can find your teacher's lists at http://tiny.cc/2vah001
👩🏫 Friday – Dress Like a Teacher Day!
Dress as a fictional teacher, your teacher, or just teacher-inspired! Let’s end the week with some fun!.
Thank you to our incredible Foothills families for always supporting our teachers and staff. With your help, this school is one unforgettable story.

Fifth Grade Art students have been working hard on their candy bar pop art.

Mrs. Cope's class finished their unit on the human body. They learned about cells, tissues, organs and body systems. They wrote about what they learned.
In kindergarten, we have been learning about taking care of the earth. We've discussed the many ways that we can help to conserve earth's natural resources, including composting and the 3 Rs-- reduce, reuse, and recycle. We even had "compost" cake.
Mrs. Roberts's class is practicing diligently for their end-of-year concert on May 9th.
Enjoy some amazing artwork by some of our students.
Miss Carlile’s class got to reinforce their geometry skills by coding Ozobots to trace over shapes based on their sides and angles. They love using computer science to do math!
