3-5PM, Gymnasium
We're excited to announce our 3rd Festival of Nations! Anyone who participated the previous 2 years knows what a special event this is. We are moving the Festival to November, leading up to Thanksgiving. We can focus on how Thankful we are for our school community! Please RSVP if you want to reserve table space to represent your country of origin.
Thanksgiving Lunch
November 22
Annual Thanksgiving Teachers Lunch
Each year, we provide a special lunch for our staff. You are each invited to share a favorite holiday dish with them. Visit the link to contribute something.
Stay in Touch
Sign up to receive emails from your Class Room Parents. They send out important information about upcoming birthdays, celebrations, Snowflake Fund, Falcon Faire, and more. Teachers will send information, but they are unable to send holiday Snowflake Fund information. It's also fun to have the Room Parents contact you about the teacher birthdays.
We only have a fraction of our parents signed up. Add your name here!

Step 3: Volunteer. Our school is service-based and relies on the participation of all families, as little or as much time as you can give.

Our Volunteers Are Amazing
Our school relies on ALL of our families to help a little.
Volunteers are on campus every day of the week serving in the lunch room, the copy room, lost and found, the library, and more. We have a range of times available each day to suit even our busy parents and grandparents. Keep an eye out for in-person training on privacy practices.
Come join us! Background Check and Online Training
We Love Grandparents!
Is it just us, or are grandparents getting younger each year?!
At Great Hearts Forest Heights, we value the gift of time by grandparents. Your presence on campus is valuable. Please consider sharing some time with our scholars in the library, the lunch room, or as a Falcon Flyer that organizes the Lost & Found, makes copies, delivers items to classes--anything that might need done that day!
Training is always provided. No experience necessary.
Visit our Volunteer Page to submit an online background check and complete our other requirements.
If you'd like to connect with other Falcon Grandparents, fill out this Grandparent Involvement form.
