It's National Book Month - Donate!
As part of National Book Month, Atlanta Public Schools will sponsor a book drive throughout October. People are asked to donate new, used and damaged books. Damaged books will be recycled, while new and used books will be donated to children, shelters and libraries. Labeled bins have been placed in the MJHS front office and the Media Center. Please participate by bringing in your books through October 31st!
MJHS October Book Club
Our October book is a 'throwback' (it is older than most of our book club members!) - Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The students chose this book based upon a recommendation from one of the members and a teacher. Our October meeting will be Friday, October 20th after school in the Media Center.

Atlanta Public Schools Tech Fair -- Saturday, Jan. 20th!
Saturday, January 20, 2018
Note: Our ETS, Tanika Vincent. is very willing and able to help your students enter this competition!
The Georgia Educational Technology Fair (GaETF) is an annual student competition that gives students the opportunity to showcase their innovative use of technology in daily learning. Started by Lou Dewberry in 2001, the GaETF is the highest level of student technology competition in Georgia.
All projects submitted to must be designed and created by students. While some adult guidance is allowed, it must be evident that all work entered by students was completed by students. Students that are unable to present their projects for whatever reason, (including illness), may NOT use "proxies." Only students that are part of the original registered team may represent a project at the fair. Projects for each category must be unique and CANNOT be entered in more than one category. Students are able to participate in a maximum of 1 project, with the exception of the Technology Literacy Challenge. Students are NOT allowed to switch project categories. Projects will only be judged in the category in which it placed first in at the regional fair.
