On Wednesday, November 26th, Forestdale held it's annual Turkey Trot Run/walk. I would like to thank all the families who attended and participated.

I would also like to thank Mother Nature for cooperating with the weather.

Congratulations to 2nd grader Dylan Stanton as the top boy finisher and 2nd grader Abigail Cerullo as the top girl finisher.

Balloons Over Forestdale Parade

On Tuesday, November 25th, our 2nd graders proudly paraded through the building to showcase the creative balloon floats they designed. This annual tradition is our Grade 2 version of the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.

Our students did an exceptional job crafting their own unique balloon creations, impressing classmates and staff alike. Their enthusiasm, imagination, and hard work were on full display, making this a highlight of the season for our entire school community.
