WEST JORDAN -- The classrooms of Fox Hollow Elementary will soon be full of students for the first time. The school in West Jordan is brand new and Thursday was moving day.
Fox Hollow faculty and volunteers spent the day unloading new books, desks, supplies and just about everything else into the new school.
The new school went up quick and Fox Hollow Elementary School principal Terri Summers says they kept the parents involved with the whole process.
"We've had a blog going that we posted on daily, sometimes multiple times a day letting parents know here's where we're at with the construction, here's where we're at with the teachers," said Summers.
Summers went onto explain what makes Fox Hollow different from other schools.
"They've got a collaboration area that's different from any other school where students can gather and do some cooperative learning so that's a great feature," said Summers. "It's fun to build the culture it's fun to say this is what the schools' going to be and what it's going to represent."
Fox Hollow PTA president Melissa Camming says the new school offers students, "opportunities that they didn't have at their other school." She goes onto say that the school, "gives us a chance to start new. Parents are excited. Students are excited. Teachers are excited."
More than 800 students are ready to fill classrooms at Fox Hollow on August 29.
