NEW!! Snack Cart Update: We’ve made a small change to help things run more smoothly — we now have two snack carts available:
- One in the main foyer, and
- One down by the gym
This is meant to speed up the process and make it easier for everyone to grab a snack during break times. As always, students are welcome to make use of the carts, but please remember: one snack per break. Let’s keep it fair for everyone. Also, don’t forget — there’s a fridge next to the office stocked with fruit, yogurt, and other snacks. You’re welcome to grab something from there any time during the day, but again, please don’t abuse the privilege. Thanks for helping us keep these supports running smoothly!

BIG NEWS!! Terry Fox Run September 25 - Are you ready to do something amazing? This year, for our Terry Fox School Run, we’re taking on a special challenge—and we want everyone to be part of it! Drumroll, please… Our school’s challenge is: If we reach our goal of donations ($1000) some of the teachers of Fort High have agreed to put their pride aside in the hopes of reaching our donation goal. To give students a little push, we’ll have goals within the goal. At $500 Ms. F and Mrs. S will wear a hot dog costume for a day. At $800 Mr. H will wear a pink dress at school, and at our goal of $1000, Mr. Hu will be DUCT TAPED to the wall! There will be QR codes around the building to be able to donate. Also stay tuned for other ways to donate. That’s right! We’re teaming up to reach this big goal together. So, bring your best energy and help us reach our fundraising goal, and let’s show everyone what we can do! Let’s Try like Terry, dream big, and make this the most unforgettable Terry Fox Run ever! Donations will be accepted until September 30th.
