Spring Banquet Success

After more than a year of planning and a lot of uncertainty, we were able to host our Spring Banquet fundraiser in-person on April 6. We were joined by 750 friends, family members, and community supporters for a truth-filled message from actor and author Kevin Sorbo.

Our students provided musical numbers, stage introductions and greeted our guests who were eager to be out in public without masks! We also had an exceptional meal from the Heritage Inn and some delightful desserts from Bequet Caramels!

Our event was also the unveiling of the Johnson Brothers large LED screen. We were joined by many of our state leaders including Lt. Governor Kristen Juras who graciously closed our event in prayer. Congressman Matt Rosendale presented awards to 8 of our students who were recognized in the C-SPAN StudentCam competition this year.

We are so thankful for the hundreds of guests who joined us, our volunteers, and partnering businesses who helped make the evening a success. This was among our best fundraising events in the last several years and we are grateful for the generous support of our community!

Plans are already underway for our 2022 event which will also be our 25th Anniversary celebration for Foothills. Keep an eye out for more information this summer!
Golf
We are excited to announce that our Golf program has kicked off for the season. New FCCS head golf coach Zach Henry is leading our Middle School and High School Golf Program. The team has had several practices and will have a couple of tournaments during this Spring.

After missing out on the season last year due to COVID, our students are looking forward to some time on the fairway and some sunny weather.
State Science Fair Winners
We are proud to announce that 8th graders Kimber Koteskey and Rohna Gregg received state level recognition for their Science Fair projects. Koteskey received a Silver Ribbon and a 1st Place AAIA Merit Award for her project on Bullet Penetration in Kevlar. Gregg received a Gold Ribbon for her research on how different sound waves effect oobleck.

Both students were provided the opportunity to compete in the virtual State level competition based on their projects advancing from the school and regional competitions.

'Skate & LEARN about Foothills'
This past weekend we hosted our first "Skate & LEARN About Foothills" event. Wheels of Thunder hosted our staff and families for a skate night. Families were encouraged to bring friends who would like to find out more about Foothills. Not only did we have several prospective students in attendance, but our current families had a wonderful time skating and enjoying time together!

Special thanks to Janine Hieb and the Wheels of Thunder staff for helping us make it such a fun evening.
Thank You Spring Banquet Donors
We are extremely grateful to all of the donors at our Spring Banquet. Not only did we have a wonderful outpouring of financial support, but we also had an amazing group of volunteers who helped us set up for the event as well as clean up after the banquet concluded. The support of our donors and volunteers is one of the main things that makes Foothills such an amazing place! Here is a full list of our Banquet night donors.
Community Partnership Program
This month, we would like to feature a new Community Partner, Rocky Mountain Treatment Center. Their sponsorship provides support for all three of our Middle School Classrooms!

This partnership will provide funding for teachers to enhance classroom activities and provide additional resources for students.
