Does your child have a rock star for a teacher and you’d like to recognize her or him? Is there a Forest Hill staff member who has gone above and beyond to help your child?
Since we have so many amazing teachers, administrators, staff members, and volunteers at FHES, please consider nominating one or more of them for the Germantown Municipal Council PTO Excellence Awards by filling out the nomination form.
Three or four nominees from Forest Hill will be chosen to receive these awards and be recognized at a GMSD awards ceremony in April. The nomination form will also be coming home with your child this week. All nomination forms are due back to school by Friday, January 29.
If have any questions or if you’d rather email your nominations, please contact Melissa Salazar (FHES PTO Parliamentarian).

In-Person HMS Addition Community Meeting |
Due to neighborhood request, we will be conducting an in-person community meeting to address any additional questions about the Houston Middle School Addition. This meeting will take place on January 26, 2021, from 6 pm-7 pm at Houston Middle School. Mask-wearing and social distancing will be required and enforced. Using an identical structure, content at this meeting will mimic the content shared at our virtual meeting from January 6, 2021. That meeting can be viewed here.
We've also posted a website at bity.ly/HMSAdditionInfo where community members can view a virtual community meeting, learn more about the project, or read through an FAQ. GMSD is also still accepting questions via email (Josh.Cathey@gmsdk12.org) and will continue posting questions and answers to our HMSAdditionInfo website.
