Time to order your yearbook! Deadline to order - May 22nd
It's time to order yearbooks. You can order them online through May 22nd. The deadline will not be extended, so order now at: https://shop.yearbookmarket.com/forestridge
Price - They cost $23.32 ($22 plus $1.32 in state tax). An ordering fee is charged at checkout. There is no shipping charge because the books will be delivered to the school and distributed to students.

Register ASAP to attend “Ready, Tech, Go! Make Your Summer!” at FRES on Wednesday, May 24th from 6:30 - 8:00 pm!
The FRES PTA has been awarded a generous grant as one of only three locations in the U.S. to host the marquee launch of National PTA’s new program! Be sure to come by reserving your spot now: https://forms.gle/98fUeEMjDtzwUW3U8
Everyone gets free dinner, free summer activity gift packs, and the opportunity to win raffle prizes including a week of music camp at Bach to Rock ($279 value!), gift cards for Roggenart Bakery and for Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins, and a dozen opportunities for kids’ art and science kits! FRES students attend: “Make Your Summer!” - a rotation of three activities, "Make Art; Make Inventions; and Make Stories," inspiring them to create and invent this summer. While the kids are happily busy, parents and caregivers will participate in the new “Ready, Tech, Go!” presentation & interactive discussion to gain helpful tools & resources for determining phone readiness and for managing your child’s phone safety and usage.
