A large crowd of family and friends came to Sierra Foothill Charter School on Friday evening, April 30, to enjoy delicious chilis, cornbreads, and family activities. The annual Chili Cook Off was a big success and a lot of fun.

The cornhole boards that the eighth graders made turned out great and many enjoyed playing the bean bag game, including students Conner Eastwood and Sayer Harry.
