Volume 5 Ed. 9
Dear Raider Nation,
Homecoming has arrived!..
North Forsyth High School is celebrating Homecoming this week. Homecoming is an exciting week filled with fun, school spirit, and lasting memories. The week has themed dress days and activities. Our Homecoming football game vs. Denmark HS will be played on Friday, October 4th and the Homecoming Dance is Saturday, October 5th, inside of Raider Arena from 7:30 to 10:00pm.
Unfortunately, some students take this opportunity to engage in class wars. These activities are counter-productive to honoring our school’s sprit and family atmosphere. Please know that North Forsyth HS does not endorse, encourage, or condone this type of behavior. Please help us in speaking with your student about such activities that could potentially lead to criminal consequences.
Any malicious activities or damage should be reported to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office rather than the school.
Thank you for your support of our great school and we look forward to seeing you all in Raider Valley cheering the Raiders on Friday, October 4th.
