Chalk the Walks
EST 2017
|
In 2017, our first group of 9United student leaders wanted to think of a way to welcome students and staff back to school with motivating messages - "Chalk the Walks" was born. We encourage students and families in all Forest Hills schools to decorate the sidewalks of our school buildings, Operations Center on Round Bottom Road and Central Office on Beechmont Avenue, the night before the first day of school each year. We provide the chalk - you bring your creativity and desire to make the new school year a great one!

Birthday Bundles
EST 2017
A former 9United leader, Sophie Alvaro, believed that no birthday is complete without a birthday cake but many kids in our schools go without one each year; Birthday Bundles exists to give Forest Hills students something sweet on their special day!
Since June of 2017, we have provided almost 450 bundles to make birthdays brighter for Forest Hills schools students! Due to privacy reasons, we can't share pictures of the kids when they receive their bundles, but trust us, the smiles are like nothing you have ever seen.
