CaptureFoothill Credit Union has renovated two break rooms for local schools and is now searching for a third school to work with. Schools wishing to be considered should submit a letter and pictures explaining why the school needs the makeover. They can also enter on Foothills Facebook page or website: www.foothillcu.org. Entries must be submitted and received by May 19, 2014. The break room makeover contest is a way for Foothill to give back to school partners and teachers. The credit union wanted a way to show the teachers and school staff that they are appreciated and offer them a comfortable and up-to-date place to have lunch and relax. Last summer Foothill completed the makeover for Beardslee Elementary School in Duarte, CA. Superintendent Dr. Terry Nichols, Ed. D, was present for the grand reveal and said "Anytime we can put our employees and the people that we work with in a position thats comfort, I know the kids benefit; I appreciate that very much." Foothill partners with local construction company C.E. Fry Construction to complete the work while the schools staff is out on break. Once a school is selected, the Foothill and C.E. Fry team will meet with the school principal to generate ideas and a "wish list," for the room. Foothill offers the contest to its partner schools in the following school districts: South Pasadena Unified, San Marino Unified, Arcadia Unified, Monrovia Unified, Duarte Unified, Azusa Unified, Glendora Unified, Covina-Valley Unified, El Monte City Unified, El Monte High School District, Temple City Unified, Bonita Unified and Mountain View Unified. Foothill specializes in serving local school district and hospital employees. The credit union strives to exceed its members expectations. Several Foothill employees regularly volunteer to participate in community events. With a zest for serving schools within the credit unions field of membership, Foothill has become a recognized organization within the community.
