01
Teacher Appreciation
Teacher Appreciation is a week held in February where we show our appreciation and spoil our teachers. Each day of the week has a suggested theme where students and parents are able to thank teachers in different ways. Our teachers are also shown appreciation with teacher dinners during parent teacher conferences and gifts during their birthday months.
02
Exploring the Arts
Would you like to be a part of your child's creative learning? All supplies, curriculum, resources and planning are done. We just need YOU!
​
This is a volunteer program for parents between October - April. We teach a 45-1 hour lesson in the classroom 1 day a week, usually Monday's (ask your student's teacher which day). Volunteers are asked to sign up for a month at a time to begin and end a new concept, artist, period or technique.
​
Each grade does a Master Project, Name Plate, Self Portrait and Curriculum based project. At the end of the year we host a gala to exhibit all the artwork.
03
Fall Festival
Fall Festival is our major fundraiser for the year! In September we invite EVERYONE: students, siblings, grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, friends, neighbors and anyone that likes to have fun! Over the years it has become quite the don't-miss event. We have everything from bounce houses, food trucks, pony rides, hair studio, face painting, soda pop walks and SO MUCH MORE!!

Reflections

Annually, thousands of students will reflect on a common theme and create original works of art in the categories of Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, 2D Visual Arts, and 3D Visual Arts.
PTA volunteers run the Reflections program at local(school), council, region, and state levels. Between 10,000 and 13,000 entries are submitted annually in Utah and roughly 300,000 entries are submitted nationwide. If you would like to volunteer to help with your school’s Reflections program, contact your PTA president.

Vision Screening
Each year our school nurse holds a Vision Screening for students. This helps parents know if their child might benefit from a visit with an ophthalmologist. For this to run smoothly, we ask parents to volunteer their time. Please contact us at OremFoothillPTA@gmail.com to volunteer. Make sure children bring glasses to school this day!

Advanced learning Lab (A.L.L.)
What is an A.L.L. program? A.L.L. stands for Accelerated Learning Lab. Our 3rd through 6th grade A.L.L. classes offer a more challenging school experience than some schools are able to provide. If your child is accelerated academically, we invite you to have your child evaluated for the program.
​
The testing for A.L.L. placement is done during the month of January.
