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

Early Dismissal - Wednesday
I want to remind everyone that this Wednesday, March 8, will be an early dismissal day. Students will be dismissed at noon on Wednesday.

Prom Tickets For Sale
Prom ticket are on sale this week through March 10 in the lobby of A building during all lunches. Junior and senior tickets are $20. Freshmen and sophomore tickets are $25, but can only be purchased by upperclassmen. Outside guest tickets $30. Outside guests must complete an “Outside Guest” form, which are available on the school website, in the office, or in room 703H. Completed forms must be submitted by this Friday, March 10. Students who owe school debt, including cafeteria charges, will not be able to purchase tickets until all debts are paid in full. Also, no refunds will be issued for ticket sales. Once again, prom tickets are on sale this week through March 10.

School Counseling Department
Seniors, if you are planning to go to college and need help paying for it, complete the FAFSA as soon as possible! If you need help with the FAFSA, contact Mrs. Pennix to get free help on March 6. Seniors, please check your email for more info about the March 6 Financial Aid assistance and contact info for Mrs Pennix. You can also explore Ms. Mitze’s web site, which includes a wealth of information about scholarships and financial aid.


Seniors, if you are still thinking about your career path after high school, consider Surry Community College. SCC has many programs for up and coming professions, along with small class size and low tuition and fees per class. If you’re interested, see Ms. Pennix on Tuesdays from 9am to 2pm in Room 600G.

Clubs and Organizations
Congratulations to the students on our Skills USA team who competed in the Regional Competition earlier this week. First place finishers included: Caitlin Beamon - Beginning Fire Fighting, Colton Bullin - Aviation Technology, Hannah Todd - Nurse Assisting, and Athan Wilson - Criminal Justice.

Football players will meet during break on Tuesday, March 7, in Coach Hoots' classroom 401D.

Spring Picture Day
Spring picture day is scheduled for Friday, March 17. Order forms are in the office. Students may pay online or bring cash or a check to the photographer on March 17.
