Students use UTA to get to theater

KAYSVILLE — Snow Horse Elementary School made sure 500 students plus 140 teachers and parent chaperones could enjoy the Ririe Woodbury Dance Concert at the Capitol Theater in Salt Lake City recently — even though it took creative funding to get the students transported there. The school decided to have UTA give a safety presentation to all grade levels. The educational presentation also provided free transit passes to all the students and teachers who attended. The school then approached the PTA about covering the cost of four district buses to take students to and from the Farmington FrontRunner station. The students took two shifts on Wednesday, riding the FrontRunner into the Salt Lake Hub, boarding Trax to the Gallivan Center, and walking half a block to the theater.
