Fossil Ridge Student Spotlight

Congratulations to Lexi Tueller and Sophia Hancock...they 

were both selected as Finalists for the 2015 State of 

Utah "Radon PSA" competition to draw awareness to

the dangers of radon gas.

Fossil Ridge Students participated in a
successful "Student Empowerment" Week that
included activities to celebrate our students 
and strengthen their resolve as they move into
their teen years.

Congratulations to the Fossil Ridge Band and
Show Choir Students on fabulous performances
at their Fall Concerts this past week and thanks
to all of our parents that came out to support 
our students!
