A DAY IN THE LIFE OF FOOTE

|
Pure Delight
| |
This week, Foote kindergartners rejoiced in the accumulation of snow on the Lower School Field, taking to the slope to climb, slide, and laugh with glee.

Community Service Works
|
| |
As part of Foote's Community Service initiative, students have been busy sewing blankets and making congratulatory cards for Columbus House residents moving into supportive housing, and creating fleece hats for clients of Christian Community Action in New Haven. Here is a note from Betsy Branch, the patient navigator at Columbus House, regarding the blankets:
"These special blankets are going to two people who have not had good places to live for a long time, and who are now moving into supportive housing through Columbus House. They will be starting out with very few belongings, but thanks to Foote students, they'll be wrapped in coziness right away, and will also have the warm feeling of knowing that there are people in the community who care about them."

Foote's maintenance crew worked through the weekend to dig out the campus from the more than 3 feet of snow that fell Friday night and Saturday morning. A hearty thank you to all crew members!
