Welcome Parents & Staff

A Letter from the Presidents

Hello Forest Families and Staff,

We’re Lindsay Cox and Katherine Glanert, and we’re thrilled to serve as your 2025–2026 Forest Elementary PTA Co-Presidents!

A little about us: Lindsay has a 4th grader, Nathan, at Forest and a 7th grader, Sydney, at Warner. She’s been part of the PTA for several years, previously serving as Vice President and Special Projects Chair, and lives right in the Forest neighborhood. Katherine is also a proud Forest parent—her son Ashton is in 2nd grade and her daughter Grace is in 8th grade at Warner. She works in the Costco bakery department and lives just around the corner. You’ll often see both of us around the school—we love being part of this amazing community!

The Forest PTA is a team of dedicated volunteers working to enhance our children’s school experience. From family fun events like Ice Cream Social, Enchanted Forest, Carnival, Variety Show, and Field Day, to enrichment programs like Theater, Reflections, and educational assemblies—our mission is to support and connect the Forest community while enriching the lives of every student.

There are several ways to get involved:

Join the PTA – Becoming a member is the best first step! It shows your support for our programs and gives you access to the Forest School Directory. No meeting or volunteer commitment required. [Insert link to join]

Volunteer – Whether you can lend a hand at an event, join a committee, or help from home, there’s a place for everyone. Watch for opportunities in the weekly listserv—we’d love your help!

Support Fundraisers – Every dollar makes a difference. Participate in our Fall Fundraiser, shop the Book Fair, or grab Forest spirit wear. Programs like Box Tops, Mabel’s Labels, and grocery rewards are simple ways to give back just by doing your everyday shopping. Our goal is to invest about $65 per student each year to support PTA programming.

Stay Connected – Join the listserv, follow the PTA calendar, and attend our general meetings to stay informed and involved.

We’re excited for a great year ahead and can’t wait to meet you—whether it’s at drop-off, an event, or in the hallway. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or ideas. Together, we can continue to make Forest a place where every student shines.

Forest ROCKS!
