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 begin this evening by reminding our students that next week is Spirit Week as we prepare for our Homecoming football game on Friday. A list of the different themes for each day has been posted on our Twitter account and Facebook page, so please check us out on Twitter or Facebook at “ForbushHS” for more information.
I also want to remind everyone that this Wednesday, October 5, is an early dismissal day. All students will be dismissed at noon on Wednesday.
