☀️ Welcome to summer break! ☀️ We're sharing some digital safety resources to help keep our Hornets safe while they’re browsing, gaming, and connecting online this summer!📱💻

The Department of Homeland Security’s Know2Protect: Together We Can Stop Online Child Exploitation® campaign offers resources that educate and empower children and teens to recognize, prevent, and report online threats such as grooming, sextortion, and the misuse of generative artificial intelligence. Know2Protect also provides resources for families and educators, and recently released a new public service announcement on identifying fake online profiles.

Bigger. Better. Funner. 🎉🐝

Today was our Forte Fun Day, and what an incredible way to celebrate our students and all of their hard work this school year! Our Hornets have worked so hard through classes, testing, projects, and preparing for exams — and they absolutely deserved a day full of fun and celebration.

Students enjoyed soccer tournaments, basketball, dodgeball, pickleball, tennis, an inflatable obstacle course, games, crafts, movies, video games, karaoke, face painting, and even a petting zoo! Every student also received a free hotdog and drink to enjoy during the festivities. 🌭🥤

A HUGE thank you goes out to all of the teachers and staff who helped make this day happen, the Azle High School PALS who volunteered their time, the Azle HS art students for the amazing face painting, and the Bevans for bringing their animals for our petting zoo experience.

Most importantly, thank you to the Azle Education Foundation for awarding Forte Junior High a campus grant that made this event possible. Your support helped us create such a memorable experience for our students!

What a way to close out the year, Hornets! Now rest up and get ready to finish strong with semester exams next week! 💚💚

One last field trip celebration for some of our amazing FJH students! Today, our band and choir students wrapped up the year with a fun-filled trip to Top Golf! ⛳️🎶

After a year full of hard work, performances, practices, and dedication, these students definitely deserved a day to relax, laugh, and make memories together.
