North Forney High School Newsletter - December 2020
Closing One Chapter Together
The holiday season often comes with an excitement for new adventures and experiences. As the year nears the end, we look to close a chapter and renew our strength for what comes next.
Though the events of 2021 may now appear uncertain, our True North fellowship will continue to thrive through any possible challenges. Until then, we wish Falcon Nation a wonderful holiday season of rest, peace and happiness.
