The clubs are getting in gear for the new school year. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) recently held a membership drive for all seventh and eighth graders, regardless of their participation in sports. The Beta Club, a national organization that promotes excellence in education and also supports community service, recently accepted applications from sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. The Future Business Leaders of America held its first meeting September 2. The members discussed their upcoming eighth-grade membership drive in September.

The classrooms are in full swing with projects and assessments. The students in Katy Meech’s eighth-grade Georgia Studies class are working on a project in which they pretend that they are on the Georgia Tourism Board. After researching and placing their data in a table, they will make a collage of pictures that represent the three physiographic regions of Georgia. All eighth-grade students took a writing assessment on August 25 to see what skills may need improving before they take the Georgia Writing Assessment in January.
