Congratulations to some very talented Herriman High School students who used their knowledge of the Chinese language and their creativity to take top honors competing in the 2023 Chinese Language Fair at the University of Utah.

Payton Richins, Grace Nufer and Carly Pace won the “Best Original Screenplay” in the Chinese Drama Competition for their short film “Emperor Qin.”

Eli Morgan, Bridger Nielson, Aaron Osmond and Caleb Weaver won “Best Production Design” in the Chinese Drama Competition for their short film “The Silk Road.”

We are proud of these amazing students! Keep up the great work.

The School Community Council of Eastlake recently organized a Fun Run Obstacle Course as their annual fundraiser.The goal was to generate funds for math assistants to support the ongoing math growth at Eastlake, paralleling the success of their reading support programs. However, this event had a unique twist. Every student who donated had the extraordinary opportunity to participate in taping their principal, Kristie Howe, to the wall, with approximately 900 pieces of tape holding her securely in place.

Great job, Eastlake students, staff, and community, supporting student achievements. Keep up the great work.

It was a celebration which Foothills Elementary School students earned after doing something they love. Principal Cherie Wilson challenged all grades to read a total of one million minutes in two-and-a-half months. If they conquered the challenge, students would be treated to an assembly where Principal Wilson and Assistant Principal Gandara would be duct taped to the wall and teachers would get pies in the face. When all the time spent reading was tallied, the students achieved the goal of reading one million minutes in less than two months and the assembly was on.

Congratulations, Foothills Elementary students! Keep up your love for reading all summer long and beyond.
