District Speech and Debate Tournament held at Robison

On Tuesday, November 14th, twenty-five, eighth grade students from Robison went to East Career and Technical High School for a field trip. The students got to see the school and experience the culinary program, as well as the technology department, sports medicine, welding and the auto mechanic programs.

CHEERLEADING Intramurals for cheerleading was amazing with over 60 students attending! According to Coaches Prentice and McFarland, every student was great and it was very difficult to make the cut to a 15 person team! Once the squad was established, practice began. They are practicing Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday every week from 2:30 to 4. They have been working really hard, even coming in 2 days over the Thanksgiving Break! They are looking forward to performing for the school and promoting school spirit and are very excited for the basketball season to start!

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO AFTER SCHOOL?

Speech and Debate students participate in district competitions. If you like to argue or feel the need prove you are always correct, contact Ms. Frailey, Ms. Wilson or Ms. Murray. They meet on Thursday and Friday in room 206. Check out the article in this newspaper for more information about this exciting club.

National Junior Art Honor Society meets in room 100 on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons with Mr. Schlagheck. NJAHS is a National art society for the middle school level that allows students with a B or better grade in art and a 3.25 overall GPA participate. Initially students participate in planning meetings. We create designs and proposals for the principal or teacher asking for specific artwork. The students learn to tweak designs as needed for their "client". We focus on beautification of the school to deter graffiti. Once the proposals are okayed we break into teams to draw and paint different sections of the mural(s).

Recently, Student Council helped with PAYBAC to welcome the guests and escort the visitors around campus. Another big part of Student Council is teacher and staff appreciation. We also do something for the staff during American Education Week and Teacher Appreciation Week. If you are interested in being a part of this great club, see Ms. Prentice or stop by the library on Thursday afternoon.

Ms. Ravalo started Subs and Stories on October 16, 2016 when she visited another school that had a similar program. Students participating for the month, read a book and then meet to discuss what they have read. The first book of the year is chosen by Ms. Ravalo. After that the kids pick the genres and Ms. Ravalo picks the title from that genre. Students can join the Subs and Stories by signing up at the library, but only 30-36 student are allowed to join. The club only meets once a month and the day depends on Ms. Ravalo calendar. The next book is called “All the Answers”. It is a fantasy book about a girl who finds a pen and gives her all the answers. Listen to the announcements to sign up for the next book to read.
