This year was our best year yet for number of registrations (78%), participation (62%) and donations collected ($26K from students and $2K from matching company donations). Forestville students ran 15,225 laps! We really appreciate all the families who came out to the Fun Run and helped with popsicles and cheering the kids on.

We encourage families, Girl and Boy Scout troops, HOAs and sports teams to consider getting together to create a care package for a family at our sister school at Dranesville Elementary and a few families here at Forestville. The PTA will also be putting together 20 packages at our next General Body Meeting on Thursday, November 9th.
