Foote School Calendar Note


Photo Day is Monday

Monday, Sept. 24, is Photo Day at Foote. Photos will be taken of all Foote students. Families wishing to order photo packages and/or class pictures must complete the order forms and return them to their children's teachers today or Monday.

All children will be included in their class pictures and the school yearbook, regardless of whether photos are ordered.

Please read the entire form for details. Tip: When you fill out the form, in the "Note to Photographer" please indicate the background color you prefer: Steel, Azure, Violet, Emerald or Lava.

Gift Wrap Deadline is Monday

Monday, Sept. 24, is also the deadline for Innisbrook Gift Wrap orders. Please leave the order forms in the box near the Gift Wrap Display in the main office. Or, place your order online at www.innisbrook.com. Foote will get credit for online orders if you enter the Foote code: 104739. This activity has great fund-raising potential since Foote receives 50 percent of the sales.

Grandparents Day Volunteers Needed

Many parent volunteers are needed to ensure that Grandparents Day, Oct. 5, runs smoothly. Whether you can dedicate an hour or the entire morning, your help in greeting grandparents, ushering them to classrooms and monitoring refreshments will be greatly appreciated. If you can help, please sign up in the front office or contact Maria Granquist in the Alumnae/i & Development Office.

Foote Authors

Authors who are Foote parents, faculty, graduates, or parents of graduates and are interested in participating should contact Bobbi Irving. Please include the book's title, author and ISBN number.

The Book Fair will take place Nov. 2 through 4 at Barnes & Noble in North Haven, and Nov. 5 through 7 at Foote, with an Authors Reception on Nov. 7.

Foote School Wall Calendar

Some of you may be aware that the "June" page in the Foote School Wall Calendar (Art Calendar) has incorrect information for the first two weeks of that month. (The information on the School Year Calendar on the website and on the two-page calendar mailed to everyone is correct.)

To simplify things, we've printed up "peel and stick" patches with the correct information and will distribute patches to parents (with their Foote School Directory) on Parents Night. Directories and patches will be mailed to parents who aren't able to attend.
