Principal's Message - 9/23/18

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.

Calendar Changes
I want to begin this evening by reminding everyone of the calendar changes approved by the Yadkin County Schools Board of Education. The following calendar changes were made due to the school cancellations caused by Hurricane Florence. Wednesday, October 17, is now a full, normal school day; previously this day was an early dismissal day. Friday, October 19, is now an early dismissal day; previously this day was a teacher workday. Also, Thursday, November 1, is now a full, normal school day; previously this day was an early dismissal day.

No School Tomorrow
Parents and students, please be reminded that tomorrow, Monday, September 24, is still a teacher workday; there will be no school for students tomorrow. Due to various training sessions scheduled for teachers across the district tomorrow, this day was not available to be used as a makeup day.

Student Services Department
The annual Human Growth and Development Parent Night is scheduled for Thursday, September 27 at Yadkinville Elementary School. All freshmen students and their parents are invited to attend. This event will begin at 7pm in the Yadkinville Elementary School Media Center.

Clubs and Organizations
The Forbush Beta Club will be sponsoring a "Pjammin Day" on Wednesday September 26 in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Students and staff are asked to donate $1 or more to their first period teacher on Wednesday to wear pajamas. Please be sure your outfit is school-appropriate. All funds raised will go towards the American Childhood Cancer Organization. Please help us reach our goal of $500.

The Forbush Fall Blood Drive is this Friday, September 28. Students must be at least 16 years old and have parental consent to donate. Also, all donors must have an ID. The Red Cross is in great need of donations as over 200 drives had to be cancelled due Hurricane Florence. Please see Mrs. Sloan in 520-E if you have questions.

Forbush FCA is sponsoring “See you at the Pole” on Wednesday, September 26. Everyone is welcome to attend and free breakfast will be available. This event begins at 7:07am.
