In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around community engagement and branding for local schools, particularly focusing on the Fossil Ridge institution. Brett Gifford and Mike Neese expressed their enthusiasm for a new logo and the concept of establishing Fossil Ridge as a leading entity within its educational cone site.
The initiative aims to strengthen ties within the Pine View community, with various activities already underway. Students from Fossil Ridge participated in the high school homecoming parade, and upcoming events include intermediate students attending STEM nights at Pineview Middle School. These efforts are designed to foster unity among the schools in the cone site.
Community council members have shown strong support for the rebranding, noting that the current apparel options for Fossil Ridge, such as T-Rex merchandise, are short-lived and often go unused after two years. The proposed changes aim to provide clarity regarding the school's identity, as many community members are often confused about its affiliation, with some mistakenly believing it belongs to other cone sites like Crimson Cliffs or Desert Hills.
Overall, the meeting highlighted a collective desire to enhance community identity and pride through strategic branding and collaborative events.
