Principal's Message

Gloria Waite, Principal

Welcome Foster Families! I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Principal of Foster Elementary School. As I enter my second year as the principal at Foster Elementary, I am excited about the school year and continuing to ensure Foster Elementary is a place for opportunity and where students want to be.  Becoming an Eagle at Foster Elementary School has provided me the opportunity to see what a community school is all about. Faculty and staff, community business and church leaders, families and parents, and dedicated volunteer groups come together with one goal in mind...to support our students.  This year at Foster, our theme is "Together We Grow."  We look forward to growing our school community so our Eagles will Soar.

Dr. Gloria Waite, Principal

Fruit and Vegetable Program

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program provides funding to participating schools so they can provide a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetables to children throughout the school day. It is an effective and creative way to introduce fresh fruits and vegetables as healthy snack options.
