We are especially grateful to:

• Ilce Rivero, Foothill Community Liaison for personally inviting all of our Spanish speaking families
• Amy Stewart McIntosh, Foothill parent and Program Director at the Kutandara Center for not only coordinating the fabulous performances, but also performing with the Vana Vedu Kutandara group

Mark you calendars! Heritage Night is next Wednesday, February 22nd from 5:30pm to 7:30 pm.  Heritage Night is a celebration of the strength and diversity of our community. All families are invited to come and enjoy food, performances and conversation.

Please look out for a email from your children’s teacher with links to sign up to bring food and volunteer. All families are asked to bring a favorite dish (along with a serving utensil) to share. Pasta Jays, Centro, and Organic Sandwich Company have donated food as well. Potluck style dinner will be in the cafeteria followed by performances by Vanu Vedi a Kutandara group, and possibly a Brazilian Samba group and Irish step dancers.

We hope that all Foothill families will join us for this special night of sharing and socializing.

​This year, the PTO implemented a Mini Grant program that asked teachers to submit requests for purchases for their classrooms.   Grants were selected based on the number of students impacted by the purchase, the expected length of use (e.g. one time, one year, or multi-year), timeline and ease of implementation, alignment with Foothill vision and priorities, and capacity to enhance curriculum. ​
