We are thrilled that so many Foote families are coming to Centennial Weekend! If you plan to attend but have not yet registered, please register online today.

We are expecting a very large turnout and wanted to pass along important parking information.

Please be advised that parking will be available in the Foote School parking lots on Highland and Canner Streets, on neighboring streets (watch for signs indicating parking restrictions) and in the Celentano School parking lot (accessible from Canner Street). All day Saturday, additional parking will be available in the Upper Athletic Field (accessible from Highland Street).

Registration check-in will be in the Hosley Gym.

You can find links to a weekend schedule, a list of who's coming, minicourse presenters and other helpful information on our website.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend! 

The Faculty Appreciation Breakfast is Wednesday, May 18 in the Twichell Room. This is a wonderful opportunity to express our appreciation to the Foote faculty and staff for supporting our children's education and well-being throughout the year.

This event is sponsored by the PTC and supported entirely by Foote parents who provide breakfast items as well as flowers and plants for our annual flower raffle. Please consider donating to this enjoyable event. Click here to sign up to bring food, flowers or both. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Non-perishable items can be dropped off in the Twichell Room on Monday, May 16 or Tuesday, May 17, clearly labeled "Faculty Breakfast." Perishable items should be labeled and put in the refrigerator, and hot items should be brought in between 6:30 a.m. and and 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday. We have a microwave, an oven and warming dishes, if needed.
 
Please remember to label your bowls and/or serving utensils and please pick up any time after 10:30 a.m.

Foote's Centennial Weekend will feature a number of exciting family-fun activities on Saturday, May 14. Among them: giant bubbles, a campus-wide scavenger hunt, Lego stations, crafts and more.

Parent volunteers are needed to help. Please click here to sign up. Thank you!

The Foote School Road Race, which began in 1980 and lasted for several years, raised money for financial aid. The event offered one-mile and 10K courses and kids' fun run.

Grace Peard's first graders learned about compost, chickens, the phases of seed growth and a plant dance - all in a trip to Yale's sustainable farm.

Margy Lamere's second graders used test tubes to simulate how layers of soil settle.

Third graders made their own didgeridoos for their Australia study and Amanda Diffley shot some video.

Jake Burt's fifth graders learned about linking verbs by forming a human chain -- and, in doing so, earned a sweet prize (pictured).
