Together we raised $36,343.63!!
Thank you to the generous families at Summit who helped us surpass our goal this year! The money raised supports our annual budget that provides enrichment opportunities like COSI, field trips, room parties, fun after school activities and much, much more. We will be looking at additional ways we can support the school in the coming year and beyond!
We know that it took our entire community to achieve this goal and we are so appreciative. The event itself was a blast and wouldn't have happened without the volunteers and staff who ensured the kids had fun. In the coming weeks and months more volunteers will be working to plan fun prizes for our students. A special thanks to this year's Summit Strong Chair Kerri Bruckner and her family for all of their hard work and living space that has been housing activities and prizes.
Thank you!!! We are

The Forest Hills Foundation for Education’s (FHFE) 4th Annual ALL IN for a Big Win donation drive benefiting Inter Parish Ministry (IPM) runs Monday, October 10 – Friday, October 14, culminating in festivities at the Turpin versus Anderson football game at Anderson High School on Friday, October 14.
Facts to Know:
- IPM’s Food Pantry is located in Newtown, Ohio.
- IPM’s service area in eastern Hamilton County includes all of Forest Hills School District.
- IPM served over 1,800 school-aged children from January 2016-July 2016. This tells us that IPM is serving Forest Hills students.
- Last year’s donation drive collected over 13,000 items for IPM which fed 435 families approximately 20,880 meals!
- When Forest Hills is ALL IN, we do make a difference.
Donation Drive Details:
- Donations will be collected at each school beginning Monday, October 10, through Friday, October 14
- Collections will also take place on Friday, October 14th at the Turpin versus Anderson football game at Anderson High School
- Eight hundred cans laid end-to-end on a football field equals 1 TOUCHDOWN:
Last year, students from Mercer Elementary tested the theory that 600 cans lined end to end equaled the length of a football field. Actually, what we discovered was that 800 cans, of random shapes and sizes, lined end to end,equal the length of a football field! Therefore, the 2016 goal for each school has increased.
- All Forest Hills schools will be working towards the goal of scoring 2 TOUCHDOWNS each by collecting 1,600 donations resulting in a district-wide total of 18 TOUCHDOWNS!
- New this year: FHFE will work with the 9United service organization to establish a student group at each school that will be the ambassadors for the Donation Drive. FHFE will be assisted by the newly formed 9United organization, a nonprofit whose mission is to grow service minded leaders by providing the students and families of the Forest Hills School District with authentic service opportunities that impact the lives of their fellow students, families, neighbors and community. The coordinators for 9United, Jen Schlosser and Amy Miller, will be reaching out to each school this week to assist in the coordination of student service groups.
What Does IPM Need? Critical Needs list for 2016:
Personal care:
- Shampoo
- Toothbrushes/Toothpaste
- Toilet Paper and Paper towels
- Deodorant
Food items:
- Canned Fruits
- Peanut Butter and Jelly
- Canned Meats
- Canned pasta
- Breakfast items (i.e. oatmeal (quick cooking, microwave), pancake mix/syrup, cereals, breakfast bars
Remember: Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
Please encourage your children to give generously. If Forest Hills is ALL IN for a Big Win we will fill the shelves of IPM and help our neighbors who are struggling to fill theirs.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the ALL IN Committee at bdavis35@cinci.rr.com

Summit Reads Tutoring Program 2016-2017
|
|
In just a matter of weeks, the Summit Reads program will be underway! Summit Reads is one of many intervention programs used at Summit to help students become better readers. Summit Reads is a program that trains volunteers to work with children in a one-on-one setting during the school day. At Summit, the program is open to students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade.
Please give some thought to volunteering for this worthwhile program. If you can read with children once or twice a week for 40-60 minutes, it could positively impact the student’s reading ability. You can pick the day(s) and time(s) that work best for your schedule. A short training session will be held on Monday, September 26th. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Summit’s Reading Specialist, Michale Sanker, at 513-474-2270 or email michalesanker@foresthills.edu.
