FOOTHILL’S PARENT FACULTY STUDENT ORGANIZATION

PFSO is Foothill’s Parent, Faculty, Student Organization. PFSO’s mission is to support Foothill’s students and staff through fundraising as well as active participation. We welcome your involvement and appreciate your support!

We hope you will volunteer your time, and support our fundraising efforts as we all work together to make Foothill the best that it can possibly be.

We will have two major fundraisers in 2007-08. You’ll be receiving information in the mail requesting a donation to our technology fund, which is used to purchase supplies, hardware and software to keep our computers working and up to date. We can’t be Foothill Technology High School without your support of this crucial fund!

Our annual silent auction and dinner, “Starry, Starry Night”, will be held at Saticoy Country Club in the spring. We’ll be hosting it in partnership with ASB, and raising money for student programs, curriculum, and classroom supplies. This replaces our traditional “Bytes and Chips” event. It will be a fun evening and we hope to see you there. To donate auction items, or volunteer to help, contact Robin Weber grweberfamily@sbcglobal.net.

In addition to our major fundraisers, please support PFSO through membership, Dining with Dragons, and the many available “Preferred Shopper” programs described below. And, if you’d like to volunteer your time, be sure to fill out PFSO’s volunteer form (included in the summer mailing) or send an email to fths@roadrunner.com. We always need volunteers!

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please contact PFSO President, Jill George, at 223-1277 or fths@roadrunner.com.
