Foothills Elementary Students Spin Into New House System

Posted on

Foothills Elementary Students Spin The Sorting WheelRoars and chants fill the halls of Foothills Elementary as students spin the sorting wheel and join a house for the school year. The new program introduces five “houses,” each with its own color, hand signal, chant, and history, all competing for house points in friendly rivalry.

Similar to Hogwarts, each house highlights the school’s key values, teaching students what truly matters. The system also helps students build friendships and connect with peers beyond their own class and grade.

Great job by Foothills for implementing a fun and engaging program to engage the students this year. May the best house win!

Have you wondered why the trees and fences surrounding Southland Elementary are decorated with green ribbons? The school is celebrating Green Ribbon Week to promote pedestrian safety. Students at Southland were encouraged to wear green to school, given green ribbons to tie to their backpacks, and taught to prioritize safe walking routes and behaviors when traveling to and from school.

 
Parents and students, when you see a green ribbon at our schools or in our community, take a moment to think about pedestrian safety and continue to put our students’ safety first!
