SuperConference
Students from the Forest Hills School District attended the 24 th annual “SuperConference” for student
leaders on Thursday, May 4, 2017, at Mount Aloysius College.
The conference provided student leaders from middle and high schools in the county an opportunity to
enhance leadership traits, develop leadership skills, and foster pride and spirit in their schools. At the
conference, students had the opportunity to attend multiple workshops on various topics on finance, diversity,
chasing dreams, and many more. Each workshop and speaker reinforced the importance of
leadership within our schools and how leadership ideas and traits can translate into their academic and
personal futures.
Only two students from each grade, 7 th through
11th grades, were eligible to attend the conference.
Based upon teacher recommendations,
the students were selected to attend the
“SuperConference”. The student leaders are
the pride of our school and we would once
again like to congratulate them on this honor.
(Students delegates: Natalya Teno, Payton
McGough, Carley McGough, Eva Spangler,
Courtney Roxby, Mackenzie Toth, Alexis Miller,
Luke Docherty, Griffin Christ, and Jason

Math-a-Thon at Forest Hills Junior High
The Math-a-Thon is a charity that was started by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to fund their research
and fund the pediatric hospital. Students participate in the fundraiser for St. Jude’s by completing
a booklet of math problems and getting sponsors. Each year, the junior high math department uses
this fundraiser for St. Jude’s as an optional part of their fourth marking period bonus.
The booklet, called the Funbook, is filled with math curriculum according to the student participant’s
grade. The curriculum in the Funbook is for a great cause, and it helps students prepare for standardized
tests at the end of the year, which includes the PSSA and the Keystone Exams.
This year, students, along with a donation from student council, sent $583 to aid in St. Jude’s cause of
beating pediatric cancer. Awesome!!!
Thank you to all the students and families
that participated and aided St.
Jude’s in this worthy cause.
Students that participated in our fundraising
event: Sierra Plummer, Travis
Neff, Blaze Maher, Colton Fiffick, Anna
Wingard, Eric Schmidt, Ashton
Cobaugh, Thomas Hockensmith, Kelsey
Josephson, Jon Chaney, and Brevin
Michuk.
