Principal's Message - 10/15/17

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.

End of the 1st Grading Period
I want to begin this evening by reminding all students and parents that this Friday, October 20, is the end of the first grading period. Students are reminded to meet with their teachers tomorrow to make sure they are aware of any missing assignments. You only have a few more days to pull up your grade before we begin the new quarter, so meet with your teachers tomorrow before school, during class, or before the end of the day.

Human Growth and Development Parent Night
Parents of 9th grade students at FHS that you are invited to the annual Human Growth and Development Parent Night, scheduled for this Tuesday, October 17. This event will begin at 6pm in the media center at Forbush High School. Once again, all parents of current 9th grade students are invited to attend.

School Counseling Office
Sophomores, are you strong in the areas of science and math and do you want to learning more about a challenging and exciting program? If so, please plan to attend a North Carolina School of Science and Math informational session on October 19. If you would like to attend, sign up in the Counseling Office by tomorrow, Monday, October 16.

Clubs and Organizations
If you are interested in a job or degree in Transportation, please drop by and see Mr. Senter in 519E before October 20. Interested students will be able to attend a field trip on October 25 for a tour of a plant and a college presentation. Lunch will be provided. See Mr. Senter if you are interested.

The FFA Food Drive will begin tomorrow, October 16. Nonperishable items and cans will be collected in your 4th period class. The 4th period class that collects the most cans will receive Krispy Kreme donuts!

Students and parents, please support the 3rd annual Forbush Jr. Civitan Coat Drive. Friday at our Homecoming football game, we will be collecting new and gently used coats for our local branch of the Salvation Army. If you have a coat that you haven't used in a while and would like to donate it to a good cause, please support our coat drive this Friday night. We will be set up to collect donations at the main gate as you enter the game.
