PRINCIPAL WEEKLY UPDATE TO FAMILIES

Forest Park Community,

This afternoon, we will hold our Forest Park Town Hall Assembly! Each month, this special

event recognizes students who model our school expectations and demonstrate hard work in the

classroom. We encourage you to ask your child about today’s assembly and what they enjoyed

most about the celebration.

Please also take a few minutes to review the flyers included in this week’s newsletter. Our PTO

has a fundraiser planned for Monday at Back 40 Restaurant. Just before our holiday recess,

students greatly enjoyed the program by Manny Nogueira, a former professional BMX rider.

Programs like this - and many other activities throughout the school year - are made possible

through the support of our PTO. If you are able to participate in the fundraiser, our students truly

appreciate it. You may also consider volunteering at one of our events; our next PTO meeting is

scheduled for Wednesday evening.

Finally, congratulations to our grade four and five school-based spelling bee winners and

alternate: William Poey, Tray Perry, Ben Cooney, Ben Hodges, and John Matarese. Best of luck

at the 2026 NK District Spelling Bee on Monday at 6:00 PM in the NKHS Auditorium.

As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Joseph S. Rotz

Principal
