Student Announcements - Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Day B
1) Do you have a special talent? The Talent Show auditions will be held after school on Thursday, November 21st from 2:35-4:00. You will leave after you have auditioned your act. A panel of judges will rate the acts based on talent, preparation, and their appeal to students. All acts must be appropriate for a middle school audience. The selections will be posted before Thanksgiving break. There will be two rehearsals during home base before the final show on December 10th.
2) All libraries in the school district are in the process of changing to a new circulation system. Our library here at Jefferson will not be able to do any checkouts of books, textbooks or net books on December 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th. All other library activities will be on schedule. We will be able to check out books again on December 9th using our new circulation system. Please plan ahead so that you have the books you need during this time. Thank you, Shari Neyens and Lorie Duclos.
3) S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G B-E-E. If you are a great speller, we want you to represent Jefferson in the Telegraph Herald spelling bee in January at Clarke University. Interested students should contact Ms. Weber to sign up.
Fighting Saints Jersey Design Contest The Dubuque Fighting Saints are having a contest to design a warm up Jersey for their hockey team. If you would like to create a design for this contest please stop in the office and pick up the information and guidelines for the design. The winner will receive their own Jersey. The warm up jerseys will be auctioned off to the public after the January 11th game. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the University of Iowa Children's Hospital.
Health Concern It seems that some students are rubbing their skin with erasers so hard that they are giving themselves significant burn marks. Students, please do no participate in this activity. It is not healthy for anyone to be doing things that damage any part of your body. Teachers, please watch for any students that might be involved in this kind of behavior and report them to the health office.
Student Newspaper Any students that are interested in helping to create a student newspaper at Jefferson are asked to attend a meeting in the LRC on Friday. Sixth grade students should come to the LRC first period. Seventh and eighth grade students during 5th period. The meeting will only last 10-15 minutes.
