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

Career & College Readiness Day
I want to begin this evening by reminding our students that this Tuesday, November 28, will be our inaugural Forbush Career and College Readiness Day. Students will report to their homeroom class at the beginning of the day and will complete various activities depending on their grade level. Students will also have the opportunity to meet representatives from over 45 different colleges and businesses. Once again, our CCR Day will be this Tuesday, November 28, and all students will report to their homeroom at the start of the school day.
