Fun in the Snow
 

Fun In The Snow

After last week’s big snowstorm, huge piles of snow turned into exciting climbing hills for our kindergarten students! They have loved trekking up to the top and playing in their own winter wonderland.

With warmer weather on the way this week, those snowy mountains might melt away sooner than we think, so we’re enjoying every last snowy adventure while we can!
 

Author/Rapper G PA Rhymes

On Tuesday, March 3rd, author/rapper G PA Rhymes visited Forestdale to meet with each grade level, individually, to do a reading of his latest book Fay's Kindness Parade. It was an interactive visit with students rapping and singing along.

A big THANK YOU to the Sandwich Elementary PTA for bring in G PA and providing each student with a signed copy of his book.

Read Across America Week/March 9th-13th

Due to last week’s devastating snowstorm and resulting school cancellation, Read Across America Week will now be celebrated this week.

We have an exciting lineup of activities and special events planned for our students, highlighted by our Character Parade on Friday morning. This celebration will be videotaped and shared with families later that same day so families can enjoy the event.

We look forward to a joyful week of reading, school spirit, and community celebration!
Please see the calendar of activities and events for this week.

Kindergarten Information Night 2026

On Wednesday, March 4th, we were excited to welcome families of our incoming kindergarten students (Class of 2039) who will begin their journey with us in September 2026. The evening provided important information about kindergarten programming, key timelines, and the registration process, helping families feel informed, prepared, and confident about the year ahead.

Families also enjoyed viewing our special video, “A Day in the Life of a Kindergartener,” offering a glimpse into the daily experiences of our youngest learners. The true highlight of the evening was watching ten current kindergarten students share what they love most about kindergarten. Their heartfelt, joyful, and often hilarious responses were absolutely priceless and perfectly captured the magic of our kindergarten program.

Any families who may have missed this event and need more information please contact the Forestdale School front office (508) 477-6600) or click this link to kindergarten registration: Kindergarten Registration
