Message from Marzelli and Hughes "Ed Fund (Foothill Education Foundation) has become an important part of our educational process by giving us things that our budget can no longer provide......"

Al Marzilli

Principal, Foothill High School 

 

Do you know that Ed Fund was formed in 1986 to bring the latest technology to FHS?  edfund  

Through the years we have had to continue to bridge the gap between the District and the school budget due to the economic budget crises.

 

We contribute to each classroom and our donations are a vital and important part of your student's education at Foothill High School.

 

Do you think our State and District should pay for  Foothill High School needs?  state

We do too!  Yet every year it becomes our challenge to meet the needs of FHS.  We strive to look further than the basics-and with your help we can continue to do so.  The Ed Fund has purchased these items and without us, they wouldn't be at FHS:

 

  • Ability to access your childs grades via Edline.
  • Student Agendas
  • Access Naviance this year- an online college-planning tool used by colleges nationwide.
  • Up-to-date computers, hardware and software for labs, the library and the teachers.
  • Document Camera

    Document cameras
    to help with teaching (some classes have 40+ students-they need these teaching tools).
  • Illumniate - A new technology for teachers to instantly determine a lesson's success and individualize instruction based on data-informed needs.
  • Supplies, magazines and books for the library. (No support from the district)
  • Enhancing the following departments: Art, Music, Science, English, Ceramics, Choir, The Green Academy, Video, The Event Center and more.

No matter what the amount, we welcome your donation.  All of us make a difference and you are part of the Education Foundation by donating any amount you can.
