...the superior student would find stimulation in learning and the good learner would be challenged to put forth his best efforts.

...to build character in our children - to stress honesty, courtesy, responsibility, and a concern for others.

Our young scholars embark on an academic path of reading, writing, and arithmetic.

We recognize the critical role rapidly developing science and technology will play in their future.

The values of honesty, fair play, cooperation and good sportsmanship are stressed in our physical education progam.

Our families give generously of their time, financial support, and other resources to enhance our community.

News and Events

Kenya Fundraiser

This is the fourth year that FCDS students have been collecting money to help Cornerstone Grace Academy, a preschool an hour outside Nairobi, Kenya. It is located in a valley that is very dry, making it difficult for families to grow food. It is a needy community. FCDS students have brought money to school, (usually quarters, nickels, and dimes), to help pay for uniforms, shoes, and food at this school. This year, students organized a Goat and Cow Drive that raised enough money to buy 6 goats and 2 cows for a new project that will help families in this community become more self-sufficient.

Coach Nelson News

BWO

The 2009-2010 Betty Webb Organization (BWO) is an integral part of life at Foothill Country Day School. In continuous operation for over a half century, its purpose is to assist the Headmaster and Board of Trustees, to help promote school activities, to encourage the enrollment of qualified students, and to raise funds for school needs.

BWO Notes

-This year's BWO annual benefit, Reveal the Magic, is set for March 6, 2010 at Red Hill Country Club. This is the night our community comes together to celebrate our school and raise funds for teachers' wish lists and school programs.

-More than 18 countries will be represented at food booths sponsored by BWO volunteers at this years' Grandparents / International Day on February 10, 2010.

-Thank you to the many, many families who contributed more than 200 pairs of shoes, along with socks and other treats, to the local Shoes-That-Fit program, BWO's holiday outreach partner for 2009.
