Forest Park Elementary School PTA

💙 A Message from the Forest Park PTA 💙

As we wrap up another wonderful school year, we want to thank our PTA Board and members, Forest Park students, families, teachers, staff, and volunteers for making this year so special.

With the support of our amazing school community, the PTA was proud to sponsor and support a variety of enriching activities throughout the year, including family events, community engagement and celebrations, educational programs, staff appreciation, campus beautification, Green Team initiatives, field trip support, and much more.

These experiences helped strengthen our community, create lasting memories, and enrich the educational experience for all students.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes to our PTA Board members - Suman, Nandini, Bhuvana who are moving on to new adventures—whether relocating to new places and communities or transitioning to middle school along with their children. Thank you for your leadership, dedication, countless volunteer hours and unwavering commitment to the Forest Park community. Your contributions have made a lasting impact on our school, and we are incredibly grateful for all you have done.

While we will miss your presence and leadership, we are excited for all that lies ahead for you and your families. No matter where your journey takes you, you will always be a part of the Forest Park family.

Congratulations to all our students on a successful year of learning, growth, and achievement.

A special congratulations to our 5th graders as they embark on their middle school journey. We are proud of all you have accomplished and wish you continued success in the years ahead.

Thank you all for your continued support of the Forest Park PTA. We look forward to building on this year’s success and creating even more opportunities for our students and families in the coming year.

Have a fun, safe, and memorable summer, and we’ll see you back on August 11!

-Ashwini Rao (FP PTA President)

Fridays for Future Forest Park presents:
🤝🌍 THE ECO WARRIOR INITIATIVE 🌍🤝
Our Neighborhood, Our Planet.

At Forest Park, being Safe, Timely, Accountable, and Respectful (STAR) doesn’t just apply inside the classroom - it extends to our campus, our neighborhoods, and the environment we all share.

Our environment begins right under our feet! The soil, storm drains, trees, and local wildlife around our school and homes depend on us to take care of them. Trash left on sidewalks and streets can wash into drains, pollute our water systems, harm animals, and damage the beauty of our community. We are inviting all Forest Park students and families to become Eco Warriors by helping keep our streets and school surroundings litter-free. Are you ready to take the pledge?

THE 2-MONTH MISSION (March and April 2026)
🚀 Turn your walk to school into a cleanup mission! Every piece of trash you put in a bin is a victory for our neighborhood and our planet. Start Date: March 06th 2026 |
Submission Deadline: April 26th 2026 *More details in comments*
