FHES School Counseling Amazon Wish List from Ms. Workman |
Hello, Forest Hill Families! I am the Guidance Counselor at FHES and am so excited to begin the 2020-2021 school year with you. If you are looking for ways to help out the School Counseling Classroom at our school, I have created a School Counseling Wish List with books and items that will be very helpful for our children this year. Thank you so much for all that you do!

Thank you to everyone who has generously donated supplies to the Health Room. The Health Room is well-stocked and ready for the year.
As you're cleaning out closets, please know that we can always use your gently used boys' and girls' clothing for all ages in the Health Room.
Thank you to the Fox Family for being so thoughtful and helpful.

Inhaler, EpiPen, Medication Procedures from Nurse Alison |
If your child will need an inhaler for asthma or an EpiPen/Auvi-Q for a severe allergy at FHES this year, please make sure you have returned the Allergy Action Plan (EpiPen) or the Asthma Action Plan (inhaler) signed by you and your child's doctor to Nurse Alison along with the medication. Please include a new bottle of Benadryl with the Epi Pen.
Any medicine to be given daily at school can also be signed in with Nurse Alison. Make sure it includes the original prescription label that includes the time to be given. She can accept a 20-day supply.
Medicine cannot be sent in with a student. It must be signed in by a parent.

Treasures for Teachers Campaign through Germantown Education Foundation |
As teachers work to plan and supply their classrooms for the new school year, the Germantown Education Foundation would love to take on the sometimes financial burden of supplying an entire classroom with school supplies by matching the state allocated $100 per teacher for school supplies for the year.
Through the Treasures for Teachers campaign, donations of $100 are put toward supplying every GMSD teacher with an $120 gift card to the Knowledge Tree to help purchase supplies.
- Treasures for Teachers has been a widely successful campaign and every teacher within the Germantown Municipal School District is extremely grateful for the community support they receive. GMSD has grown to 417 teachers this year and GEF is halfway to meeting their goal of sponsoring every teacher within the district.
