USJ would like to thank the Demopolis Kiwanis Club for their generous donation and sponsorship of our Book Blast event. This is an exciting reading initiative that we will be kicking off tomorrow that will help students build their home libraries and get new books into the hands of ALL students. Pictured are Kiwanis club representatives Mrs. Steen and Mrs. Weeks presenting a check to Mrs. Windham and Principal Shipman.
If you have a business or club that would like to donate, please contact USJ and be a part of #thedemopolisdifference
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.
TGIF shout-outs!! Good job guys!

Attention, adventurers! Our Book Blast event starts next week where we will set off in search of treasure to build our students' home libraries.

ONE USJ STUDENT WILL EVEN WIN AN IPAD! @go.booksarefun #bookblastadventures #bookblast #booksarefun #literacy
¡Atención, aventureros! Nuestro evento Book Blast comienza la próxima semana, donde partiremos en busca de tesoros para construir las bibliotecas de nuestros estudiantes. Sigue los pasos en el Mapa del Tesoro que llegará a casa la próxima semana para embarcarte en una épica búsqueda y ganar emocionantes recompensas y libros.
Look for scoliosis forms coming home soon. Forms will need to be signed in order for a student to be checked. This is very important and a FREE service the school provides. We have also included some information for preventative measures since most students in our system use backpacks. Improper usage could lead to back issues in the future. Check them out and have a conversation with your students about how to properly wear a backpack and to not overfill them.
It may have felt like a Monday, but today was shout-out Friday!
