Forte Junior High

Get Ready to Show Your Spirit for Red Ribbon Week!

Red Ribbon Week (RRW) is the nation's oldest and largest drug prevention program, promoting a drug-free lifestyle for all youth. This important week of awareness is proudly hosted by the FJH Student Council.

We encourage all students to participate in our daily dress-up themes during RRW. Please note that FJH will not be actively participating in the Azle High School Homecoming dress-up days. However, to show our support for the Azle Hornets, we encourage all students to wear green on Thursday, October 24th for the AHS Homecoming game!

Can't wait to see everyone in their fun RRW dress up day outfits!

Flu Shot Clinic - Coming Soon!
Parents – flu season is quickly approaching! To help combat flu in our school, we are offering a free flu shot clinic for all students. The clinic will be on October 6th at 10:30 AM. A completed permission slip is required for any student to receive the vaccine. If you are interested in your student receiving a free flu shot, please have them pick up a permission slip from the nurse’s office at school. Once completed, have them return the form as soon as possible.

Show your spirit! 🎉📣

In Coach Dinkins’ class, students did a hands-on activity all about teamwork and communication—with a little friendly competition mixed in! Each group worked together to solve a puzzle by practicing positive communication and encouraging one another. Once the puzzle was complete, students had to unscramble our September focus word: INTEGRITY from our Portrait of a Hornet. After finishing, teams recorded their times to see how quickly they could rise to the challenge. What an awesome way to practice integrity in action! 🧩🐝✨

Coming Soon! Support the Forte Junior High PTO on October 8th by dining at the Chick-Fil-A in Lake Worth for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Make sure to mention FJH PTO directly or use the code on the flyer if placing a mobile order.
