A DAY IN THE LIFE OF FOOTE

What a Superb Way to Say Thank You!
|
Professional Development Day at Foote was quite the event, thanks to Foote parents. After a morning session devoted to reports about the self-study conducted in preparation for next fall's accreditation team visit, Yaira Matyakubova, a renowned violinist and first violinist of the Haven String Quartet, and Andrius Zlabys, a pianist who has performed with some of the world's best-known orchestras, presented a concert as a thank you to Foote faculty and staff.
There was standing room only as the pair, who are the parents of Justin Zlabys in MAG, played Beethoven's "Spring," a joyous sonata for violin and piano; Cesar Franck's "Prelude, Fugue, and Variation for Violin and Piano;" Prokofiev's "Sonata No. 7 for Piano" and Mr. Zlabys's own "Passacaglia for Violin and Piano."
The parents of the Class of 2011 treated faculty and staff to a visit from the Big Green Pizza Truck and a luncheon smorgasbord of pizza offerings and salad, topped with a sweet treat of gelato and capuccino. Overeating became a happy epidemic.
The Foote School faculty and staff wholeheartedly thank the parents of the Class of 2011 for a marvelous lunch and Yaira and Andrius for a concert that brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience and resulted in a lengthy and heartfelt standing ovation.
