UNICEF Campaign

On Friday October 24th / or Monday October 27th, your child (K-5) will be taking home a collection envelope for UNICEF. At our Celebrate assemblies students were shown a DVD on how their support can help children in the African villages of Malawi and Rwanda receive an education and help in their future.
This UNICEF campaign promotes global awareness and citizenship issues FHS supports and believes are important.
If you are able to help in this meaningful campaign please collect pledges and return the pledge envelope to your child's teacher.
Thank you Forest Hills community.

Family Literacy Night

Celebrate What's Right....Celebrate a Love of Literacy! Please note date change

We are hosting a Family Literacy Night here at Forest Hills on Wednesday, October 22nd from 6:30-7:30.

This night will be an opportunity to share the importance of Literacy learning with your child. We hope this experience provides you with useful ideas, homework tips, fun and practical games that reinforce concepts and most of all, a great way to be together while learning together.

The format is simple...families can rotate from one activity station to the next, at their own pace. Staff will be available to help with activities and to answer any questions you may have.

The purpose is simple...to provide families with some innovative ways to "celebrate and have fun while learning"". All of the literacy activities presented can be easily duplicated at home for the specific learning needs of your child. Remember that regular review and practice of all skills is crucial to learning.

We look forward to seeing you on the 23rd!
