has launched an advancement campaign
to raise funds for advanced training for
teachers. This campaign is called Destination: Innovation and will fund exploration
of new learning methods, structures and
ideas. These funds will enrich teachers
with essential resources—such as time,
training and technology—so they can deliver a new type of learning in a new way.
Thank you for thoughtfully considering a
gift to this campaign. For more information, visit www.fhpsf.org or contact Jana
Siminski at 493-8954 or jsiminski@fhps.net.

When you are looking for a quality preschool
for a child, you don’t have to look far. The
Forest Hills Public Schools offers both feebased programs and tuition-free programs
so that all children can have a great start
to learning and success. FHPS offers two
traditional preschools that are licensed by
the State of Michigan and run by the school
district. One is located at Ada Elementary
School and another one is located at Knapp
Forest Elementary School. FHPS also offers
a Spanish Immersion preschool at Ada Vista
Elementary School.

Bond Update
Many exciting projects are happening this
summer due to the passage of the $45 million bond issue in 2013. Building improvements are occurring primarily at the Fine
Arts Center; the Community, Aquatic and
Senior Citizens Center; and on the campus
of Forest Hills Eastern high school and middle school. Additionally, some roof repair
will occur at Central Middle School. Playgrounds also are receiving upgrades, to include, but not limited to, ADA compliance.
In the area of technology, wireless network
expansions will continue. Audio upgrades
will also take place in kindergarten through
sixth-grade classrooms. To learn more about
summer building and improvement projects, visit: www.fhps.net.
Thank you Forest Hills residents for your
continued support of the district’s goal to
preserve district assets the community has
invested in, and maintain a quality educational environment for our students.
Congratulations FHPS Retirees
The following Forest Hills Public Schools employees were honored at the June meeting of
the board of education for their dedication, service, time and talents they’ve given to our
students. We wish these employees all the best as they retire from our district with a combined 888 years of service. Congratulations to this year’s FHPS retiree class of 2015.
