The legendary BIGFOOT will be making a visit to St. Anne’s Catholic School on Friday, Feb. 18 at 9 am. St. Anne’s students will get to see the newly designed Bigfoot Monster Truck up close and meet the world champion BIGFOOT Driver, Dan Runte.

Ms. Amy Delgado, Principal of St Anne Catholic School in Beaumont, arranged for the visit as a reward for the St. Anne Students. “The students are SO excited to be having “Bigfoot” monster visit our school. It’s a Good Life at St. Anne; we have lots of fun here. We have a high Standard of Achievement Excellence, and we are very excited to be able to bring the Monster Truck here for the students.
