Thank you for all your help with our recent shoe donation drive. Our girls made posters requesting donations of shoes and were so excited to receive 452 pairs to donate to families in Ghana and kids in Liberia. The girls were thrilled to count the shoes and box them up. We greatly appreciate all your support!
As a community, we need to work together to solve the traffic issues that occur each day. We will be having a strong campaign next year to reduce the traffic on McCoy Avenue. Please create a plan for your family for next year if you currently drive to Forest Hill.
I strongly encourage families to do one of the following next school year.
- Walk to School everyday
- Start a Walking School Bus with your neighbors. One parent picks up a group of children in your neighborhood and walks them to school.
- Park in the neighborhood and walk the rest of the way. This would help decrease the number of cars on McCoy Ave. There is a back gate on Sillaci Drive that families could use also.
- Park at St. Thomas of Canterbury Church and walk your student onto the campus.
Pre-ordered yearbooks were distributed to students on Friday May 29th. If you did not pre order a yearbook and would like to purchase one, they will be on sale after school at the picnic tables and in the school office for $30. We will sell until we run out.

Our own students lead the following booths for everyone to explore and learn.
- Human body exploration

- Diet coke and Mentos explosions

- Computer games
- Building a Rube Goldberg machine
- Making your own batteries
- Quizzes and optical illusions
- LEGO roller coasters and Rubik’s cube solving robot
- Quad-copter and mini blimp flights

A big thanks to our parent volunteers for helping to make Planet Falcon happen. I greatly appreciate the hard work, time and effort Mrs. Lalita Godbole put into this event. I look forward to next year’s Planet Falcon!
What a great year we have had here at Fabulous Forest Hill! Each day was filled with thinking, learning, and living together as a community. Thank you to teachers, staff, parents, family members, friends, and students for helping us all to use our hearts and minds well. Remember to Read, Read, Read this summer!
