❤️🤍💙 Veterans Day Program ❤️🤍💙
Today, our Forest Family had the privilege of coming together to honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation's uniform and selflessly served our country. As we gathered to celebrate Veterans Day, we were reminded that the freedoms we enjoy each day are not free. They are protected by the courage, sacrifices, and unwavering dedication of those who have answered the call to serve. Behind every uniform is a story of commitment, sacrifice, and, often, time spent away from loved ones. No program or words could ever fully express the gratitude these heroes deserve, but we hope today's celebration served as a small reminder of just how much they mean to us.
To ALL of our veterans, those who were able to celebrate with us today and those who could not be there, please know that you are appreciated, respected, and honored. Thank you for your service, for the sacrifices you have made, and for standing in defense of our country and the freedoms we hold so dear. We are forever grateful, and it was an honor to celebrate YOU today! ❤️🤍💙

🎤 A special thank you to our Student Body President, Rylee Jacobs, and Student Body Vice President, Sirius Chamblin-Williams, for delivering our opening and closing remarks. Thank you for your leadership and for representing our student body with such pride and confidence!
We also want to give a HUGE shoutout to ALL of our student speakers! Standing in front of an audience and speaking with confidence is no small accomplishment, especially when you're looking out at a crowd filled with your peers! We are incredibly proud of each of you for stepping up and sharing your voices today.

💙 Happy National School Psychology Week! 💙
This week, we want to take a little extra time to celebrate someone who makes such a meaningful difference in our Forest Family — Mrs. Ashley Burton, our amazing School Psychologist!
Mrs. Burton, so much of the work you do happens behind the scenes, in quiet conversations, small moments of encouragement, and the countless ways you show up for our students when they need someone in their corner. You have a special way of making others feel heard, valued, supported, and understood. The connections you build and the hearts you touch may not always be visible, but the impact you make is felt every single day.
Thank you for being a safe place, a listening ear, a source of encouragement, and an unwavering advocate for our Cougar Cubs. Thank you for pouring so much of yourself into the students and families you serve and for supporting our staff along the way. We know this work takes a special kind of heart, and we are so grateful that you share yours with us.
