On May 23rd, 2026, students, families, alumni, staff, neighbors, and friends came together for an unforgettable day of fun, connection, and celebration at the Foothills Academy Block Party. Filled with sunshine, laughter, and activities for all ages, the event was a tremendous success and a meaningful reflection of the strong, supportive community that makes Foothills Academy so special.

Across both indoor and outdoor spaces, attendees enjoyed an exciting lineup of activities, including lawn games, carnival games, a scavenger hunt, glitter tattoos, a mini farm, and more. Beyond the activities, the Block Party provided a meaningful opportunity for families and community members to come together, reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and celebrate the supportive and welcoming environment that defines Foothills Academy Society. Of course, no celebration is complete without great food. Guests enjoyed a delicious BBQ lunch, refreshing iced coffee from Euphoria Cafe, and sweet treats from Village Ice Cream, adding even more joy to an already memorable day. 

“The Block Party is such a meaningful event because it brings together so many members of our community in one place,” said Brianna Gare, Manager of Community & Alumni Engagement at Foothills Academy Society. “Seeing families, students, alumni, staff, and supporters laughing, connecting, and enjoying time together is incredibly special. We are so grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success.”

The continued growth of the Block Party is a powerful reflection of the vibrant and caring community that surrounds Foothills Academy. It was inspiring to see individuals of all ages and backgrounds come together to celebrate what unites us: a shared commitment to supporting children and youth with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD.

The success of the 2026 Foothills Academy Block Party would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community. To everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, or helped behind the scenes, thank you. Your time, generosity, and enthusiasm helped create an unforgettable day of fun, connection, and celebration for hundreds of families. 

As Foothills Academy Society continues to provide specialized education, evidence-based programming, and wraparound support for children and youth with Learning Disabilities and ADHD, events like the Block Party serve as an important reminder of the strength found in community. Together, we help students and families Find Understanding, Build Confidence, and Maximize Potential. 

Thank you for helping make the 2026 Foothills Academy Block Party a success. We are already looking forward to seeing you again in 2027!
