Dear Eagle Families:

We wrapped up a fantastic Red Ribbon Week and Halloween at Indian Hills! We appreciate everyone who helped reinforce healthy choices with our Eagles and ensured Halloween was joyful, safe, and well-organized!

Tomorrow, our 3rd-grade team will be honored at the Salt Lake City School District Board Meeting for the exceptional reading achievement results at our school. This recognition celebrates the dedicated work of our teachers, our students' progress, and the support of our families.

We are proud of our Eagles and grateful for the outstanding teaching and collaboration that make these results possible!

See you soon!

Warmly,

Dr. Pettersson
