On October 21st, the Forrest School PTA hosted our annual Fall Festival. The students enjoyed bouncy houses, carnival games, face painting, a haunted maze, and pumpkin patch. Thank you to our amazing PTA and parent volunteers for making this such a successful event.

In accordance with Fair Lawn Public Schools focus on prioritizing the themes of diversity and equity in our schools, students at Forrest participated in an assembly enhancing their understanding of the Indian holiday, Diwali. Each student decorated a plastic cup during art class with Miss Cohen and learned rhythmic patterns to a montage of Indian music with Mrs. Knitel. The culminating experience included a read-aloud video of a children’s book about Diwali and a performance of their cup routine.
