Yesterday the Forrest students had the privilege of having their Principal for the day, Shane E. and Gym Teacher for the day, Jackson W. keep them in line, while having fun, all day long! We think Mr. Placenti and Mr. V. have some serious competition!

We took an awesome Road Trip Across America at Tanglewood 2026! What a night it was! None of it would have been possible without Mr. and Mrs. Otten, our fantastic art teacher, Ms. Beyer, the amazing Mrs. O’Shea and the incomparable Mrs. Knitel! We are so proud of all our Forrest students for all the hard work they put into such a special night! Big shoutout to our wonderful Forrest community for always showing up for our kids!

Finishing off another wonderful year of Manners Monday! It was Kindergarten’s turn today, as they stepped into the Forrest Bistro, where they were served by our amazing volunteer parent waiters and Chef Placenti! The children learned valuable lessons on how to act in a fine dining environment, and we just know they went home and asked to go to a restaurant to practice! Thank you to all the teachers/staff and parent volunteers for making this such a successful program! Until next year…the lights in Forrest Bistro are now off.
