Parents and community residents are encouraged to "hear" what the student-musicians at Forest Road are currently working on. Many of the projects can found on Ms. Kister website at: www.kistermusic.com, and below is an overview of what all the students at Forest Road School are currently working on during their music classes.

WFOR Radio: Forest Road School has started a radio show! Ms. Kister and two sixth grade students have been working really hard to complete the first broadcast.  Look for future broadcasts on the last Friday of each month!
