Only a Few Days Left to Purchase Gala Tickets!

Happy New Year to all of our Foothill Families! We are kicking off 2009 by
gearing up for our Biggest Fundraiser of the Year - the Black and
White Gala. Join us for an 'Evening in Paris' on Friday, January
30. For just $45/per person, you get a great dinner, dancing, and
the chance to bid on some great silent and open auction items.
We've had a terrific response to sales of our 50/50 Raffle
tickets - so far we are up to $3000, so one lucky winner will
take home at least $1500! Gala tickets can be purchased in the
main Foothill office - get yours today! Here's why this
fundraiser is so important: Due to massive budget cuts at both
the state and local level, the PTA is being asked to fund
salaries for the Art and PE teachers, along w/ the Librarian. The
PTA also funds class field trips and many other programs that
directly benefit your children! But we can't do it without your
help. Even if you cannot make the Gala, you can support us by
buying raffle tickets or just making a donation to the PTA.

Thanks in advance for your support - Let's all do our part to
continue to keep Foothill the Great School that it is for our
kiddos!

School Garden Kickoff Day

We're finally Digging In! Join us Saturday, February 21 from 10-1 at the Foothill Garden to help us get it growing! We need volunteers to help build planter beds, decorate garden art, prep and weed garden beds, and plant seeds and flowers. We are looking to make this a family event, and are going to get food and drinks donated. If you'd like to help us out, please sign up in the Foothill Office. If you are interested in donating material or funds to the garden, please contact our Foothill Garden Chair, Gen Millington at 915-8767 or at g_millington@comcast.net
