ANNOUNCEMENTS

Today is an A Day.

From your PTA:Please mark your calendar for our next Restaurant night at Pupatella Pizzeria (1621 S. Walter Rd. Dr.) on Tuesday January 24th, 11:30 am to 9pm.  Pupatella will donate 20% of all participating orders to raise funds for PTA programs that benefit our school community. Please don’t forget to mention Thomas Jefferson Middle School PTA when you order.

From Ms. Burton:It’s No Calling Week and here’s the Fact of the day:Did you know? In the 2021 Glsen Climate survey, nearly all LGBTQ+ students (97.0%) heard “gay” used in a negative way at school; 68.0% heard these remarks frequently or often, and 93.7% reported that they felt distressed because of this language. •Use of expressions such as “that’s so gay” has remained the most common form of biased language heard by LGBTQ+ students in school. It’s up to you to speak upfor your LGBTQ+ peers.

If you are interested in taking ACT II classes for the 2nd semester, please pick up a form today from the ACT II teacher OR the counseling suite. ACT II will start on Feb. 6th.
