Congratulations to the Upland Elementary Jazz Band on their 1st place award at the Western States Jazz Festival. Foothill Knolls has 3 sixth graders who are members of this esteemed group.

Congratulations to our 2013 County History Day competitors!  We are so proud of Chloe, Ciera, Jesse, Ekene, Amadeus, Danny, Abraham, Travis, Kristen, Lauren, Danielle, Joshua, Laith, Sanaa, Jessica, Zach, and Gia

A special Mustang cheer for our County Champions, Victoria and Rebecca with their project called, "Morse Code:  A Turning Point in Global Communication." They will be going on to State Competition.

We would like to express our thanks to our high school experts for their guidance and moral support during this process.  The kids really appreciated their high school buddies.

We are very excited about a new recognition program for our Mustangs.  Students in 3^rd-6^th grade have the opportunity to earn “Scholar Beads” for various achievements at Foothill Knolls.  We will be recognizing things such as Honor Roll, perfect attendance, PTA Reflections entries, History Day participants, Students of the Month, and Book Club participants, and many others.  Students will collect these beads on a necklace (kept at school), and wear them on assembly days.  It is our goal to give recognition to our students when they go above and beyond what is required of them.  We are so proud of our Mustangs for their scholastic achievements!
