Poplar Bluff Junior High School

February 12 through February 16, 2018

 WELCOME

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Next weekend is a four day weekend!  

No School

There will be no school on Friday, February 16 or Monday, February 19th.

Community Book/Book Study

Students who choose to participate will be reading “News of the World” by Paulette Jiles for Book in the Bluff.  Joyce Whitworth will be coming up during 6th hour three times a week to facilitate a book study discussion with our 8th graders who are participating.  If you love to read and would like to participate, please sign up in Google Classroom on the Student Body page.

St. Jude’s Mathathon

The St. Jude’s Mathathon kicks off this week.  As a district, we are only $30,000 away from donating 1 million dollars since our involvement started.  The top 3 building winners will get to miss school on April 6 to go to the Memphis Zoo.  Mrs. Nicolini will have more information for you this week.

Reminders

Please remember that hoods, hats and bandanas are not allowed inside the building.  

Social Media

Students, please keep in mind that anything that you post on social media during non school hours/off campus, but carries over into school and affects the school population, can be subject to a discipline consequence issued by the school.  It is not to be taken lightly.  Use good judgment in this area! If you wouldn’t say it to your mom or grandma, it’s probably not a good idea to post it.

Valentine Bouquets and Crushes

Our life skills students will be selling Valentine Balloon bouquets ($2) and Crushes ($1) that you can buy and have delivered to your friends!  Monday is the last day to buy these items!

Valentine’s Dance

Beta Club will be sponsoring a Valentine’s Dance on Thursday, February 15th from 6-8 PM.  This is a casual dance.  Students on the no go list will not be allowed to attend.

Mule Shack

On Fridays, our Life Skills students will be working in conjunction with Chartwells to sell their a la carte items.  This will include all cookies, ice cream, chips and drinks.  Smoothies are coming soon!  Students must have cash for these items.
