August 2026

Dear Foothill Families,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! As we "Dive In" with you, we would like to introduce ourselves as your PTA co-presidents, Tylee Holden and Kim Abrams, and fellow lower-school parents.

So much of what draws families to Saratoga happens alongside the classroom, and the PTA is what makes it possible. We fund the programs that supplement and bring your children's education to life, from robotics, to Math League, to the musical, and Project Cornerstone. We also fund Teacher Grants, the Art program, Playground Pals, Run Club, the Book Fair, a new Library Fund, assemblies, author visits, and the yearbook. New this year: SEPTA, our Special Education PTA led by Patti Chen and Jane Yang, launching a sensory garden and a more accessible playground. Throughout the year you'll find PTA supporting the Ice Cream Social, Movie Night, the Family Dance, International Night, the Science Fair, and our annual musical, Newsies Jr.

We also want to hear from you. Please take a few minutes for our Parent Survey, your input shapes where we focus our energy and funding.

None of this happens without you. Our programs are funded through the annual "Dive In" campaign, with a suggested donation of $350 per student, given through our website or by physical check dropped off at the main office. Don't forget to check if your employer will match your donations. More funds, more programs! And don't forget to volunteer. We look forward to seeing you all on campus!

Here's to a wonderful year together. Go Dolphins!

Warmly,

Kim Abrams (Byron - 3rd) & Tylee Holden (Olive - 2nd & Phoenix - K)
