Give to Grow
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE EVENT AND AUCTION
Give to Grow is a capital campaign that raises money for one-time purchases for school initiatives and improvements, as selected by Principal Nick Vanderpol and the teachers. This fundraiser is not intended to replace Fund the Fox (which supplements operating costs for the school). Rather, it targets specific, innovative upgrades.
The 2020 event will take place on Thursday, April 2 at 6pm at the Rayback Collective. Come for a fun night of mingling with fellow Foothill parents and teachers. We'll have light appetizers, free drinks, and you'll have the chance to hit up the food trucks for a delicious dinner.
Bonus: This year, admission is free!
Come ready to bid on our fabulous silent auction items, including gift certificates to some of your favorite local establishments.
Where Will the Money Go This Year?
As you've probably read, Foothill Elementary is undergoing a comprehensive, $9.7 million bond-funded capital construction project this summer. Almost every space in the school—from classrooms to hallways to the parking lot—will be getting a long-overdue overhaul. See the BVSD Bond Project site for more information. Or pop into the office to see print outs of the renderings. The school will be totally transformed!
But here’s the rub: The renovation costs do not include furniture for the classrooms or shared spaces, like the library and cafeteria. And, if you've spent any time at the school, you've probably noticed that many of the tables, desks, chairs, and sofas appear to date back to the school's original construction 70 years ago. That’s why Principal Vanderpol and the teachers are asking us to raise money this year to help refurnish the school with new, innovative and engaging seating and tables. Our rallying cry: “Let’s furnish our new house!”
