Help for Haiti 

JMA's Junior Beta sponsored "Camo Because You Care"  on Thursday, January 28, for students in grades 6-12 to raise money for the survivors of the devastating earthquake that shook Haiti. Students helped Junior Beta raise money by wearing camouflage on that Thursdayc for just $1.00. Last week, when the idea was sparked in the middle school to allow 6th-8th grade students wear hats to school (or wear their shirts untucked), they raised $115 in just under an hour. Junior Beta anticipates a terrific turnout for this event, and all funds will go the United Methodist Committee on Relief to supply emergency health kits to survivors.

GREAT JOB Junior Beta!

Class and Club Notes
6th and 11th Grades
Mrs. Youngblood's sixth grade history students learned about the research process with help of Mrs. Jones' eleventh grade English students. The sixth graders worked diligently on their UDC research, allowing the Juniors to serve as a reference guide to help them make6 bibliography cards, fact cards and put together outlines. After all the process work, the sixth graders will be writing and editing essays on their own. The sixth graders will submit their final essays as both a grade in the class and as part of the regional competition.
 
Attention Junior Class
There will be a Junior Class parent meeting on February 8, 2010 at 7pm in Mrs. Latimer's room. This meeting will address student responsibilities, parent committees, and other prom details. We ask that each Junior has a parent representative at the meeting. Please e-mail Mrs. Latimer or Mrs. Jones with questions or concerns.
