Elementary School Principal Gets Pranked as Part of End of the Year Activities

He is a principal with an on-going purpose to surprise his students and staff, and make learning fun. But this time it was Foothills Elementary School Principal Abe Yospe himself who was the recipient of a big surprise.

After some serious planning, teachers and staff at Foothills pulled off a pretty fun prank carried out by none other than a local bagpipe player. Everyone pitched in and hired the bagpipe player to show up and be a musical shadow of Mr. Yospe, following him wherever he went throughout the school for one full hour…a full hour of bagpipe playing for the principal.

The prank was not only a way to celebrate the end of the school year, but a way to thank Principal Yospe for all he does to make learning fun throughout the year.

Golden Fields “Lets It Grow” by Planting New Trees

Golden Fields Elementary partnered with Tree Utah to “Let It Grow” and added 10 new trees to the school grounds. Students and teachers rolled up their sleeves to dig holes and plant the new trees, beautifying the grounds and adding some shade during recess times.

Students were inspired by Dr. Suess’s book The Lorax, which said, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
