Soap Box Derby

Vote for FHS!!

Hi there !

On behalf of the Forest Hills School PSSC, I applied to be a part of the Enbridge Gas NB’s Fix it in 5 Program. During the first weeks in June, one project in each City in NB will be awarded a day of volunteer time and the resources needed to complete the project (up to $3500). Projects are intended to benefit the community, and so I applied to see if we could get some resources in place to work on the “curb appeal” of the school as discussed at recent PSSC meetings.

The link is below and you can vote EVERY DAY. You have to select Saint John, and scroll down to the project entitled “Proud to be Forest Hills Falcons”.

Please do so, and pass along the link to everyone you know. Our school needs to better say “Welcome to Forest Hills School. You’re going to love it here !” That is something that all of the staff and students project inside the building, but it’s not readily apparent from the front door so I thought it would be a good fit for this Program.

Thanks !

Wendy Papadopoulos
