Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year, and thank you for exploring our website and learning more about our amazing school. 

I am honored to be here working with an amazing group of teachers and students while partnering with the community. This year promises to be one of growth, learning and achievement. We are excited to

welcome all our preschool-8th graders into our school, where we foster a safe, educational environment.

This year our theme will be The Ripple Effect. We will be foscuing on the concpet that every action creates a ripple: small ripples lead to big waves resulting in endless impact. Students will focus on a growth mindest that every moment, action and person matters. 

 We want everyone to see that hard work and perseverance will lead them to success by learninng, sharing, and applying new skills and concepts. Obtaining the fundamentals of both academics and social interactions is crucial to success and growth. SOAR will continue to be the foundation for our school, and we encourage the entire Festival Foothills community to practice safety, ownership, achievement and respect.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. I am excited to work alongside the Festival community to make this the best year!

Thank you,

Holly Bonessi
