Ways to Support

Forest Hill Elementary PTO is partnering with Mabel’s Labels again this year. They give 20% of each purchase back to our school! Get waterproof labels for all of your student's supplies, stamps for shirts and jackets to keep them out of the lost and found, allergy reminders for lunches or even silicon name bands for water bottles. Visit mabelslabels.com, choose Forest Hill Elementary in Germantown as the fundraiser you would like to support, and start shopping! 

Other super easy ways to raise money for our school is with Amazon Smile and Kroger. Each time you log into Amazon Smile (this is different than your standard Amazon login) and choose Forest Hill Elementary School PTO, Amazon will make a contribution to our PTO with each purchase! If you go to your Kroger account online and choose the Community Reward screen, you may choose FOREST HILL ELEMENTARY PTO to start earning $$ for the fun events and programs the FHES PTO plan each school year.  
Note! You have to log in through Amazon Smile each time you shop.
