Thank You to our Grand Foxes
We’d like to send a big "Thank You!" to everyone who participated in our 2020 Grandparents’ Event! We hope you enjoyed your treats from Chill and your special “Grand Fox” car decal!

We also wanted to send our appreciation to Chill for their event partnership! They donated 10% of our event sales, which turned out to be $130 back to the FHES PTO!

PTO Membership & Donation Drive Fun
It's the Last Week of the Drive!
Attention all Forest Hill Fox Families! Our PTO Membership/Donation Drive is entering its 4th and FINAL week! 

Friday Mrs. Dowdle’s class was treated to a Marcos pizza party for being the first class in the 1st grade to reach 100% participation! All other grades are still in the running during this final week to be the first class in their grade to reach 100% and win a class pizza party too! Who will win for the other grades? Which virtual class will win? Joining the PTO and donating is easy with the buttons below! Click here for Campus Fox and Virtual Fox Class Competitions.

Ever Seen a Human Sundae?
Watch our YouTube video of Mr. Perkoski in his "Sundae Best!" And while you're there, please feel free to subscribe and share the Forest Hill Elementary School channel with your families (and your friends, too). Check us out and subscribe!
Will we reach our final goal of $8,000 and get to put Mr. P, Coach Stratton, and Officer Mike in the DUNK TANK? Will we smash that goal and hit $10,000?

Thank you so much to everyone who has already joined the PTO and donated to the 2020 Donation Drive. All this fun and more is possible with the support of our incredible Forest Hill families, teachers, staff and community members.
