Getting Down to Business at Junior high

Great job today by the 3rd graders, band and all involved in the Veteran’s Day Assembly.

5th hour Careers class has a real world experience for the 3rd six weeks. They will spend the entire six weeks “working” for minimum wage. They are expected to find work to do around the school to earn their pay. They will receive credit for that work and must keep a budget and pay bills. Extra credit will be awarded for those who have enough money left over at the end of the month to spend on non-essential items. The class has already jumped in with an enthusiastic attitude and is having fun with the work.

After reading the latest post on the superior sportsmanship that was again displayed by our athletes, I just wanted to say PUHA to all our students who show what being a true athlete is all about. You are the best!

Best of luck tonight as you travel to Memphis. Keep up the good work and continue to make Quanah proud.

We have spent a lot of time going over the cost of living and gross vs. net pay. Hopefully your students will have a better understanding of what it takes to maintain a household monthly. We are now moving into applications and resumes. Our first assignment is an electronic “About Me” resume to be completed in iMovie. It must include video, pictures, audio, text and music.

If you have not been inside the junior high, come take a look at all the changes. It’s so refreshing to walk into a new building. We are looking forward to an exciting year.
