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.

The multi-use building is wrapped and that means the outside stucco and large format tiles and windows are next. And then the crews swarm the inside for plumbing, electrical, dry wall, and finishes. Still six to seven months remain for construction, but we are on track to open for the next school year 2025-26! A new kitchen with more food options, an inside assembly space with a stage, and a rainy day location to project movies -- all dreams come true!

The official Sharkie of the San Jose Sharks came to congratulate Mrs. Vanderkooi's 2nd grade class for being tops in their Reading is Cool program. First, Sharkie met Principal Burbank and helped himself to teacher snacks from her cabinet, and he hid his snacks inside his jumbo shoe! Then, Sharkie visited the winning class and made himself at home with his feet on the desk! He asked where students had visited during their vacation last week, even getting the Sharks to guarantee him a trip to Maui next year -- we'll see! Sharkie asked what books the learners had read; Harry Potter and DogMan were tops. Finally, Sharkie gifted some new books about sharks to Mrs. Vanderkooi's classroom library. Go San Jose Sharks!
