KAYSVILLE -- Elementary No. 55 has been given a name: Snow Horse Elementary.
Snow Horse Elementary is currently under construction, located on Smith Lane in Kaysville, and will be open for the 2007-08 school year. The school's principal will be Mrs. Bagley, who was principal at Jennie P. Stewart Elementary.
The name, Snow Horse Elementary, was chosen from five proposed options: Holmes Creek, Pheasant Hollow, Francis Peak, Meadow View and, of course, Snow Horse.
To decide the new school's name, students and families who live in the school's boundaries were given an opportunity to vote, and ultimately chose Snow Horse.
The name stems from a local legend about a patch of snow on the upper mountainside shaped like a horse. The "snow horse" is easily visible from the school.
The story claims that the snow horse was long used by early settlers as a weather gauge in the spring. When the snow horse appeared, pioneers felt it was safe to plant their crops. If they could see the horse in June, they were reassured that there would be enough water to raise a crop of grain.
