Nim's Island - Movie Day - October 1st

Forest Hills Home and School will be playing the feature film "Nim's Island" on October 1st, 2008 in the Theatre at the school beginning at 3:30pm. This is part of the committee's fundraising efforts where we benefit from viewing recently released or yet to be released movies at a great price.

Tickets are $3 each or $10 per family. You may pick up tickets on Wednesdays and Fridays in our volunteer room or from Mrs. Roy. If all tickets are not sold, the remaining tickets will be available at the door.

Volunteers Needed

Forest Hills is proud to be able to provide both a breakfast program and a hot lunch program five days a week to all of our students. We could not do this without the continued support of our parent volunteers.

We are currently looking for parent volunteers who can help us with these valuable programs. Breakfast program takes about 1/2 hour in the morning and hot lunch takes about 1 hour.

If you are available any day of the week for either of these programs, please contact the school at 658-5338 or e-mail our volunteer co-ordinator, Mrs. Sharon Davidson, at sharon.davidson@nbed.nb.ca
