September 11 remembered …
Students are pictured watching a survey on Channel One that
graphed the safety of the nation since the terrorists’ attacks
in America on September 11, 2001.
Halls Junior High School teacher John Terry has
a spent a good deal of time recently teaching his social studies
students the history of one of the greatest tragedies in
American history, the events of September 11, 2001.
As the fifth anniversary of the terrorist
attacks near, he used several different forms of media to
incorporate the lesson into his curriculum, including a lesson
from their textbook, newspapers, videos and documentaries, the
internet and Channel One coverage.
Shhhh … students at work in
the library
Students at Halls Junior High
School are offered a hands-on approach to the library by
assisting teacher/librarian Jennifer Smith as library aides.
In the program, the students
assist their peers in checking books in and out of the library,
keeping the books and library in order and performing various
other duties that assist Smith in keeping the information center
ready for use.
HJH library helpers include
Hannah Kelley, Kyle Ward, Corey Crihfield, Kelsey Layne, Logan
Campbell, Ashley Nichols, Krista Hardee, Dalton Gean, Brenna
Deaton, Emilee Moore, and Amber Ray.
Early mornings at HJH
Long before the first bell rings,
many students at Halls Junior High School are offered a chance
to participate in both learning and entertaining activities in
the school’s early morning program, sponsored by Project L.E.A.D.
Students are given the
opportunity to advance academically with study hall, library,
Compass Lab, Read 180, math and word activities offered
throughout the week. The programs allow the students to boost
their academic careers as well as provide them with a firm
foundation for the basics, a result that has been reflected on
the students’ tests scores.
Art, chess, guitar and media
programs are also offered throughout the week to give HJH
students a chance to develop new interests and talents
Summer Academy ends
Halls Junior High School
recently completed its Summer Academy. The program was available
through funding from the Project L.E.A.D. grant and took place
May 29 through June 9.
According to Project
L.E.A.D. Director Tommy Durham, the academy served about 25
students in the areas of math and reading, with bus
transportation provided to the participants at no extra cost.
