Delays of 15 minutes during pick-up this afternoon for 1:30pm dismissal as PGE has one way traffic control right in front of school as they make saw cuts across the pavement.  Remember to GO SLOW in the CONE ZONE!

Although the front office and library have switched places, a new MU is under construction, and a few teachers have retired, Class of 2025 seniors returned to Forest Hill to participate in our monthly Falcon Fest to celebrate learning -- and graduating!  Seniors from Westmont reminisced about playing four square and swinging on the bars. They greeted teachers who taught them to read and write, to add and subtract!  Seniors walked our royal blue carpet while new Falcons applauded.  Each senior left with a FH pennant.  Thanks for coming back home to celebrate your high school graduation, seniors!

Wow!  That was fast!  Construction crews demoed the old kinder play yard as part of Measure T, phase 2, at Forest Hill (thank you, voters!).  New play equipment, shade sails, and turf on an expanded footprint aims to be completed by first day of school, August 20, 2025.  To make that finish date, the entire campus is a closed and is a full-on construction zone, fenced with heavy equipment moving about and crews in action.  Front office reopens on Tuesday, July 29, 2025.  First day of school is Wednesday, August 20, 2025.

Finally, after a week of rainy days, we gathered Forest Hill learners for the kickoff of our American Heart Association fund raiser.  Check your learner's Friday folder (from last week) or your Parent Square message about the Kids Heart Challenge to donate or to spread the word on your social networks.  When Forest Hill hits our goal of $3,000 for American Heart Association, learners earn an extended "free" recess. Thanks to PE teacher Ms. Cohn for sponsoring the Forest Hill effort toward healthy hearts.
