Foothill High School's Pink Farewell for 'Mrs. K'

Pink was Foothill High School choir teacher JoAnn Koobatian's favorite color so it was fitting that the students and staff at Foothill High donned every shade of the rosy hue on Friday in honor of her life.

Those at Foothill High School and in the Pleasanton Unified School District have been mourning the loss of Koobatian since her death on Oct. 18.

The half-time show at the Friday Foothill High football game was also dedicated to the beloved teacher known as "Mrs. K." 

One of the tweets sent on Twitter from "@surfchickk" seemed to sum up the amazing personality of the popular teacher and what her wishes for her students would likely be, "To anyone in the foothill family who lost their choir teacher, I'm very sorry. Mrs. K would want you guys to stay strong, and keep singing"

Services for Koobatian will be held on Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. at the Valley Community Church
