The holiday season is coming, and we need your help to make it special for our students. Forestbrook Middle School is participating in the Angel Tree program, and we invite you to join us in providing gifts and essential items for our school community.

What is Angel Tree?

Angel Tree provides holiday gifts to children and families who need extra support during the holidays. The FMS Angel Tree committee will use monetary donations to help provide clothing to families. Additionally, we are asking for wish list items to be purchased from our Amazon wish list and sent directly to our school. This ensures that all students receive age-appropriate clothing and gifts while keeping student confidentiality. By choosing to donate, you will help strengthen our school community by showing students that they are supported and cared for while reducing holiday stress on families.

How you can help

• Visit our Amazon wish list to view and purchase requested items: Forestbrook Angel Tree Amazon Wish List

• Ship items directly to the school

• Monetary donations are also welcome — contact your child's school counselor for details on how to contribute.

Important details

• To ensure that the gifts arrive in time, please place all orders by Saturday, December 6th

• Contact your child's school counselor with any questions.

• 6th Grade: Mrs. Alderman (galderman@horrycountyschools.net)

• 7th Grade: Mrs. Germany (ylewis001@horrycountyschools.net)

• 8th Grade: Mrs. Wyatt (lwyatt@horrycountyschools.net)

  
  

Thank you for considering a donation. Your generosity makes a real difference to students who deserve to feel safe, supported, and celebrated.

Updates and reminders to Gator Parents:

Breakfast and lunch are available to all our students free of charge. Please encourage your child to start each morning with a healthy breakfast. Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. Your student may want to bring an extra set of clothes in the event of a spill, wardrobe malfunction, or dress code violation. We are unable to provide clothing to students.

If your child has a life-threatening allergy or medical condition, please be certain to report it to the school nurse. If your child requires rescue medication at school, please consult their pediatrician.

To prevent the spread of illness, please do not send a child to school when they are sick.

Immunizations: Current 7th graders. Please be certain to submit proof of your child's Tdap vaccination, which is a statewide requirement. Students who are not immunized will be unable to attend school. An immunization notice was sent to all parents of rising 7th graders if a current working phone number, address, or email address was available in Power School. Students without an updated SC Certificate of Immunization are subject to suspension after September . Religious Exemptions obtained from SC DHEC are accepted.

Please contact me with any questions. My email address is mkeller001@horrycountyschools.net, office phone fax 843-903-7463, 843-236-8065.
