The Big Give San Antonio is upon us! The Big Give is a 24 hour fundraising event that has helped over 1,000 local nonprofits since 2014 to connect with more than 242,000 individual donors, and collectively raise in excess of $30 million to support the critical services they provide our community.
Traditionally, Great Hearts San Antonio has done really, REALLY well. Last year, GHSA was the top money earner out of almost 300 San Antonio non-profits that participated. And Forest Heights was a major part of that, very nearly doubling our school's projected goal!
This year we hope will be even bigger! You can donate starting at 12:01am on September 23 by visiting the website below. Giving ends at midnight the same day. This is a great opportunity for you to show your big heart and give big! We look forward to an exciting event! Be on the lookout for more info to come and enjoy the video below featuring Headmaster Doughty and Assistant Headmaster Ramirez.

Parents, we know you have a lot of things to do every morning to get your scholar prepared for the school day.
Something very important is to help them remember to bring a filled water bottle to school every day.
Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, help prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.
(Harvard -T.H. Chan-School of Public Health)
