Our Forsyth Tech students had a blast today creating festive Thanksgiving turkey hats with Ms. Hassan! The room was full of laughter, creativity, and holiday cheer as everyone joined in on the fun.
Students also shared how thankful they are for their teachers, classmates, and the opportunity to learn and grow together each day. Moments like these remind us just how special our school community truly is. 🍁✨

🙏 Morning Blessings with the Fellowship of Christian Students 🙌
The Fellowship of Christian Students gathered this morning for an inspiring time of worship and reflection. Neal Marshall joined the group and shared a heartfelt message focused on giving thanks to God, drawing from the powerful words of Psalm 100.
Neal reminded students that Psalm 100 is a call to joyful praise—a reminder to “make a joyful noise unto the Lord,” to serve with gladness, and to enter God’s presence with thanksgiving. He encouraged students to recognize God’s goodness in their daily lives and to remember that “His love endures forever and His faithfulness continues through all generations.”
The message was a meaningful reminder to approach each day with gratitude, especially as we move into the holiday season. We are proud of our FCS students for continuing to grow in faith, fellowship, and encouragement each week. 🙌💚💙

North Stokes Leads with Generosity: 1,500+ Items Donated!
North Stokes High School extends its sincere appreciation to the students, parents, and community members who generously donated non-perishable items during our recent canned food drive. Thanks to your support, we collected over 1,500 food items to be delivered to the North Stokes Food Pantry, helping families in our community during the holiday season.
The National Honor Society led this two-week initiative, organizing and promoting the effort across campus. Participation was strong, with 10th grade earning 1st place by donating an impressive 713 items, followed by 11th grade with 673 items.
Pictured are several of our outstanding 10th-grade students who contributed to this successful community effort.
