The Trojan Book Report
Keeping you in-the-know!
November 2013
Trojan News Show
Out with the old and in with the new. Our school news show has a new look and a new name! We improved our audio and video quality so that your homeroom class will now have an easier, more pleasant time viewing the news show. You can still find us on channel 12. We air during homeroom (9-9:15 a.m.). Our typical show lasts five minutes.
Here is our basic line up: Greeting, Pledge of Allegiance, Trojan Creed, lunch menu, weather report, sports updates, and upcoming school events.
Contact Ms. Jennifer Mock via email if you would like any announcements made for your organization or sport.
Beyond Words Book Club
Our Beyond Words Book Club meets every Wednesday during lunch. This month's book is One for the Murphys by Lynda Hunt. Teachers and students are invited to join and participate.
Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA)
We participate in the Sunshine State Young Readers Award program at Nims. Students receive a punch card for tracking the SSYRA books they read. In April if they have read at least three SSYRA books they get to vote on their favorite. Their votes help to determine Florida's top book for middle school.
AR Football League
Our Language Arts classes are in fierce competition to obtain 100% on student AR goals. Each class has a team on the AR football field and they are moved closer to a touch down with each student that gets on track for success. Playoffs last two weeks and the winning team for each grade is treated to a donut party. Our AR promotion team includes Mr. Brantley, Ms. Robinson, and Ms. Mock.
Calendars Galore
Did you know that there are three separate calendars on the Nims website? There is the media center calendar where you can see when upcoming AR checkouts are, special events like Science Jeopardy and guest speakers, as well as media lab reservations.
There is the athletics calendar under the Sports tab - http://www.nims.leon.k12.fl.us/#sports.
There is also a teacher calendar that shows upcoming testing dates along with other important dates - http://www.nims.leon.k12.fl.us/#library.
