Our soon-to-be alumni spent one of their last days at school leading the last Community Meeting of the school year at the Seedling School. It was so amazing to see these leaders move from curious 3 year olds to high schoolers. Some of them have been with our school for 13 years! They will always be a cherished part of our Foothill and The Seedling School- Claremont, California family and we are so proud of them!

Today Kevin Wei, Class of ’25, visited our Spanish class to share his high school experience with our seventh grade students and give them valuable advice on how to manage responsibilities and stay organized. He also shared how much he misses Foothill and how the lessons, friendships, and experiences he gained here helped prepare him for high school. Kevin encouraged students to work hard, stay involved in activities they enjoy, and make the most of their middle school years because time goes by quickly. His visit was inspiring and motivating for our students, and they appreciated hearing real experiences and helpful tips from a former Foothill student.
