Mrs. Helms' class, with the help from Ms. Hughes' gifted students, participated in a "mystery meeting" zoom with a class from another state. They had to guess where those students were located based on clues. They also gave the other class clues about Demopolis!
Mrs. Brown's math classes used manipulatives to learn about equivalent fractions! #amsti4all #fractionfebruary

The USJ Beta club will attend the state Beta convention in February. This year's National Beta State service project is collecting items for the Ronald McDonal House. Please see the flier for items needed.
We will collect items from now until we go to convention on February 12th.
Please note these important dates for 2nd semester!
We have some exciting news to share. Our Beta club members Austin Rice, William Michael Coplin , Rhett Windham and Emmalynn Washburn took an online test yesterday in hopes to compete in the Quiz Bowl Competition at the Beta Convention. We would like to congratulate them because they placed in the top 8 of all the schools that competed which means they will be able to compete in person at the State BETA convention in February.
