Principal's Message - 10/1/17

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.

Skills USA
I want to begin this evening with an announcement about our Skills team. For the first time in the history of the organization, Yadkin County holds all Region 7 officer positions. Zach Morris and Alesha Milholland were voted in as officers for the region. Congratulations to Skills adviser Keith Senter and the entire Forbush Skills team.

School Counseling Office
Seniors, mark your calendars for a Financial Aid Workshop on Tuesday, October 3 at 6pm in the Auditorium for anyone who needs help paying for college next year. Both parents and students are encouraged to attend. Once again, this workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, October 3 at 6pm in the Auditorium.

Sophomore and Juniors, sign-ups for the PSAT have been extended. You can sign up in the counseling office with Mrs. Monroe during your lunch and the cost is $15. The deadline to sign up is this Tuesday October 3 or until our spots fill up. The PSAT will be given on October 14 at 8am.

Juniors and Seniors, are you interested in taking College Classes this spring? Registration for spring classes begins in October. To start the process, first complete a Career & College Promise application from Ms. Mitze. Next, see Mrs. Pennix in Room 600G on Tuesdays from 9:00am-1:30pm for more information.

Child Nutrition Department
If you feel you need assistance to pay for your child’s breakfast and lunch, please complete a free and reduced meal form as soon as possible. If you qualified last year for free or reduced-priced lunch and have not yet re-applied, you must do so by October 1. As a reminder, you must re-apply for free or reduced lunch every year in order to receive this service.

Clubs and Organizations
Yearbooks will go on sale this week in the lobby of A building during lunches. Yearbooks are $60. You can put down a deposit of $25 to reserve your copy. We sold out of books last year, so don't wait to buy yours!

Please return outside guest forms by October 13 to Senora Helton. You must pay your fees before you can receive your ticket! The Homecoming Dance will be held on Saturday, October 21, from 7-10pm.
