For over a century, Foothills Elementary was not just a school but a home. A place where friendships were formed, lessons were learned, and generations grew up together. Nestled in the quiet beauty of Deer Park, California, it had stood the test of time.
Then came the Glass fire that started on September 27, 2020. The flames didn't just take buildings—they threatened to erase history. The loss wasn't just physical for families, teachers, and alumni. It was personal. But this community wasn't one to give up. The grand reopening in the newly rebuilt auditorium took place recently and was highlighted in the February 27, 2025 edition of Northern Lights.
In the Recorder’s eighth annual education issue, we include three articles by Dr. Aimee Saesim Leukert, two of them taken from her book, Thriving: 31 Stories on the Impact of Adventist Education. In addition, the importance of higher education is highlighted, along with Pacific Union College and La Sierra University. This education issue is significant because it is Dr. Berit von Pohle’s last year as vice president for education at the Pacific Union Conference.
