On Tuesday, June 9, Sierra Foothill Charter School celebrated the accomplishments of its students by hosting an Open House. Students, family and friends were invited to check out classrooms and all around campus where students work was showcased. They were also invited to purchase products made by students as part of their Career Tech Education, pick produce from the learning garden, line dance, and enjoy Mexican food from Tacos Sonora. There was lots to see and do.

Some of the projects included TK/K collecting pennies and buying treats for animals adopted at the SPCA; first and second graders designing a bedside bag for children in the hospital and writing a story to put inside the bag; third and fourth graders making owl boxes; fifth and sixth graders designing and building an outdoor amphitheater; and seventh and eighth graders continuing work on their reforestation project.
