On Thursday, December 15, Sierra Foothill Charter School held its Winter Program to a very appreciative standing room only audience in the multipurpose room. The evening started with a slideshow set to music highlighting the school year so far. Next, each classroom full of students performed a song they had been working on for a few weeks' prior with their teachers. The performances were wonderful! After, the audience and students enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate. 

After an initial greeting, Principal/Superintendent Mindy Bolar turned over the microphone to the emcees for the evening, Trevor McClard and Sophia Rudge.
The program started with a slideshow set to music highlighting the 2016-2017 school year so far. This was put together by first and second grade teacher Wendy Baumann. This slide shows Rosie Neogy and Elle Sexton on the first day of school.
