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!

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
