2026-27 Eagle Update

Indian Hills Elementary

Happy November, Eagles!

As we head into November, we have some exciting opportunities to learn, connect, and give back! 

  • We're kicking off our House Challenge Community Food Drive, with all five Houses working to collect food and essential items for East High School's food pantry.
     
  • We're launching a November Attendance Challenge to encourage students to show up every day, ready to learn! Our attendance rate is significantly lower this year - we know we can get back on track! Every school day matters, and we're excited to celebrate the importance of being present. 

 I'm looking forward to seeing our Eagles rise to these challenges and continue making Indian Hills a place where every Eagle belongs!

Warmly,
Dr. P.

House Challenge - Community Food Drive

Indian Hills Community Food Drive | November 2–18

Let's show what our Eagle community can do! Indian Hills is collecting food and essential items to support East High School's food pantry, which serves SLCSD students and families in need.

We're asking each student to donate at least two items from their House's donation list. Items include nonperishable foods, socks, winter accessories, and personal hygiene products. Additional donations are welcome!

Drop off donations in your House's collection bin in the front foyer from November 2–18. Please note that clothing donations must be new and in adult sizes.

Five Houses, One Community — Every Eagle Belongs!
