Staff Appreciation Week
Monday May 2 - Coffee and Treats:
The PTO will be providing coffee and juice. Please consider signing up to bring baked goods or easy grab snacks to complement the staff's beverages. If you'd like to help, then please sign up HERE. Students, just in case your favorite teacher or staff member cannot make it to coffee and treats, feel free to bring in a healthy snack for them to munch on today or stash away at their desk to enjoy some time throughout the rest of the week! Also, don’t forget to bring in your completed printable from the Friday folders on 4/29. They need to be placed in a basket in the front office by end of day Tuesday.
Tuesday, May 3 - Bring your Teacher or Favorite Staff Member a gift card or written card:
Consider giving your teacher or favorite staff member a gift card to their favorite store (see some of their favorite gift cards here) or simply create a personalized card telling them why they are appreciated! Please stay after school to help chalk up the school’s walkways with words of appreciation to the entire Foothill Staff! We will meet on the front lawn to hand out sidewalk chalk to all volunteers. And don’t forget that today will be your final day to bring in your completed printable from the Friday folders on 4/29. There will be a basket in the front office to put them in. Also parents, if you have an extra hour on Tuesday after school, then please sign up to help cut out and hang the print outs around the school walls in preparation for Wednesday. If you'd like to help, then please sign up HERE.
Wednesday, May 4th - Public Appreciation:
Enjoy meandering the school walkways to read all the words of appreciation to staff left by many Foothill students and parents! There will be leftover sidewalk chalk by the front doors all day on Wednesday should you become inspired to add more words of appreciation….or even a drawing! The Foothill staff will also be enjoying the completed print outs from their students on this day!
Thursday, May 5 - Cinco de Mayo Fiesta - Bring in a Flower or potted plant:
It’s Cinco de Mayo, so why not celebrate the Foothill Staff with a PTO sponsored lunch provided by Verde! Catering will include fajitas (veggies, chicken, steak, beans, rice, and tortillas). Students, please bring your teacher or favorite staff member a flower, small plant or even a picture of one to help make their working environment a bit more festive! And parents, please consider signing up to bring your favorite side dish (salad, salsa, guacamole, queso, sour cream, chips, desserts, sparkling water, etc.). If you'd like to help, then please sign up HERE.
Friday, May 6 - Create your own gift of appreciation:
Use your imagination and have fun with what you decide to bring to help make your teacher or favorite staff member feel appreciated! Feeling stumped on what to bring? Perhaps, help supply your teacher with needed school supplies for their classroom, or your favorite staff member something personal just for them! Of course, even an extra high five or fist bump would be appreciated too.

Staff Appreciation Committee
The Staff Appreciation Committee is the Foothill's PTO way of celebrating each and every one of our staff members that work daily within our building. They are the backbone of our community and interact with our children on a daily basis. We're thrilled to shower them with meals during parent/teacher conferences, special days during Staff Appreciation Week and more to make their days brighter!
Our first event was held on October 22nd and it was a hit! The PTO Staff Appreciation Committee arranged a burrito lunch from Wahoos in Boulder. Actually, Wahoos went above and beyond by donating $500 worth of tacos to help make it the special event it turned out to be! Doing this for the teachers was the least the committee could do to express our appreciation for their amazing dedication during parent/teacher conferences and beyond. We'd like to give a special shout out to Lalantika Padmanabhan for donating beverages and other extras to make the event a great one!
On November 19th, the committee will be donating $5 gift coffee cards to each and every one of our teachers so they can enjoy a cup of coffee on us over Thanksgiving Break.
2021-22 Staff Appreciation Co-Chairs are Tierney Gerber and Suzanne Larson
