Principal's Message - 9/18/16

Good evening, this is Mr. Kennedy, principal of Forbush High School. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have a few announcements and updates I would like to share with you this evening.

I want to thank everyone who was able to attend our Alumni Cookout last Friday night. I hope that all of our former students enjoyed the opportunity to visit our beautiful campus and enjoy the evening at Forbush High School.

Attention all 10th and 11th grade students. Sign-ups for PSAT will run through October 7th and the cost is $15. Please see Mrs. Monroe in guidance to sign up.

Additional Reminders
Students, I want to make everyone aware that beginning tomorrow you will be allowed to eat lunch in the courtyard. So far this year we have done a good job of keeping our courtyard clean by picking up trash and staying off of the grass. As long as this continues, students will be allowed to eat lunch in the courtyard. Please be sure all trash is thrown away at the end of each lunch period so that we can allow this privilege to remain in place for the rest of the school year.

Senior picture make up day is Tuesday, September 20th. Please sign up in the office. The sitting fee is $10 for formal and outside photos. Also, this is a reminder that Friday, September 23 is the final day to order the 2017 Group Picture. The cost is $10 and money should be turned it to room 513E.

Our Fall Blood Drive will be on Friday, September 30th. Our blood drive will be held in honor of Marshall Baker. Students 16 years of age will need a parental consent to donate. All donors will need a photo ID.  Students will be available during lunches for you to sign up to donate or you may see Mrs. Sloan in room 520E.

Students, we will be using our Homeroom Schedule on Wednesday. On Wednesday, all students will report to first period to begin the day. After first period, students will report to homeroom with break to follow. We will resume our normal schedule after break.

Home Athletic Events
