FOSSIL RIDGE INTERMEDIATE SPOTLIGHT
Last week Language Arts Teacher Mrs. Sewell announced the Faculty Winners
for the 1st Annual Fossil Ridge Faculty Poetry Contest. The purpose of the 
"Everyone is a Writer" contest was to inspire our students to enjoy and feel 
confident about the writing process.  Over 30 Faculty and Staff members
participated in the Poetry Contest.  Two of the Faculty Winners were
Mrs. Teresa Bosen (Theater) and Mrs. Leisha Eardley (Math). Thank You to 
Mrs. Sewell for a fun and valuable poetry experience! 

Mrs. Gubler's Art Students were provided with a special treat last Wednesday

when artists from the Springville Art Museum spent the day with each of her

class periods. Mrs. Gubler continues to provide the students of Fossil Ridge

with incredible opportunities!
