Since 2008, Shop & Share has not only offered students and families an opportunity to support Forest Hills students during the holidays, it also provides sustainability of our efforts to support students all year and our student-led service initiatives. Your support truly makes an impact 365 days a year for Forest Hills students & families.
- "Normalizing" Grants: School requested grants to support a student(s) & families in Forest Hills schools with a short-term, immediate need. From basic food and hygiene needs to assistance with funds to take part in school plays, sports and other extra curricular activities to help after a job loss, illness or fire, the grants help to "normalize" a student's school experience.
- Chalk the Walks: A night before the 1st day of school tradition of decorating the sidewalks at all Forest Hills schools and district buildings to welcome a new school year.

- iServe: A dedicated time in February to be intentional about taking care of ourselves and serving our friends, school, families and community. (Turned over to schools in 2022.)
