_________________________________________________________________________________________PTSA News:
The LBJ Craft Fair planned for later this month has been canceled. We appreciate Jan Sargent's efforts to get the craft fair off the ground and running; however, city code requirements made it very difficult to enlist enough crafters to make the event cost-effective. Thank you very much to those who expressed an interest in participating. The PTSA regrets any inconvenience this may cause.

LBJ BACK PACK MAIL
NOVEMBER 20, 2008
One of the greatest perks of my job as principal at LBJ is having the opportunity to spend time with really great students! This year is no exception. On Friday, November 14th we recognized the following students for exhibiting good character:
6th Grade: Aimee Pena, Anna Slown, Brian Benton, Brittany Treadwell, Dominic Barreras, Elliott Holt, Eric Cordova, Katie Flores, Leroy Sandoval, Matthew Baca and Melanie Alter
7th Grade: Aesha Rameriz and Devin Mangrella
8th Grade: Alec Bratcher, Andrew Madsen, Chris Chavez, Chris Eddings, Elisa Woody, Josh Lucero, Justin Stroud, Morgan O’Roark, Parker Moses, Sydney Lopez, Tricia Grajeda
Congratulations to these students! Each student received a certificate, a copy of their teacher nomination form, a T-Shirt which may be worn any Monday and/or Friday with jeans and eventually, an opportunity to select a friend to eat lunch with in the foyer patio. I would like to specifically recognize one of our great student artists, Patrick Sarson, who won our T-Shirt design contest! This is just one example of the Parent Teacher Student Organization’s (PTSO) work at LBJ!
Have you heard about the LBJ Turkey Trot/Stride for Diabetes? Student council will sponsor this fun activity again this year on November 26th during the 7th period time slot. Runners will go to Mariposa Park to run the mile. Walkers will go to the back of the school after the runners. Students will report to their 2nd period class during the 7th period time slot and 7th period will meet during the 2nd period time slot. The schedule will be: 1,7,3,4,5,6,2. Second period will collect money donations for the Diabetes Association. The student council is hoping each participant will contribute $1.00 however; students do not have to pay to participate! The fastest boy and girl at each grade level will win a turkey!
We have recently hired two new teachers at LBJ. Helen Garcia will be taking the CBI program vacated by Steve Covington when he retired. Ms. Garcia has an incredible amount of experience working with students in CBI programs at both Valley High School and Cibola High School. Amy Schwartz will be filling our 7th grade Language Arts/Literature position vacated by Mrs. Irving who moved out of state. Ms. Schwartz has been working at Roosevelt Middle School and brings a bundle of enthusiasm to this position. We feel very thankful to have found such great teachers at this time of year!
Monday and Tuesday, November 24 and 25 most 8th grade students will be participating in the Jason Foundation Curriculum during their computer class. The Jason Foundation is a youth suicide prevention curriculum designed to provide informational awareness of the warning signs of suicide among peers and self. The curriculum also provides information on how and where to get help. If you have any questions, concerns, comments, please contact Louise Adelstone, 8th grade counselor, at adelstone@aps.edu or 898-1492 X21105

School Info:
We need you help to provide a safe pick up/drop off zone!.
Please take a few moments to review the map of the PARENT PICK UP/DROP OFF process on the reverse side of the schedule you will get at the open house. The pick up/drop off procedure has been designed to ensure student safety.
Parents are not to enter the front lot for the purpose of student pick up or drop off! The front lot is a safety hazard because students will cross the bus lane and the buses may not be able to see them. Additionally, the front lot is reserved for staff parking. The staff needs to be able to get into the parking lot in a safe and timely manner to begin their duty day.
Parents parking on Homestead need to remind students that they may no longer use the crosswalk at the pick up/drop off exit. Students will follow the sidewalk in front of the portables and cross near the bike rack. Students may enter the building through the B or C hallway doors.
Parents who choose to park across the street need to remind their student that they MUST use the crosswalk at the corner of Homestead and Taylor Ranch Rd. Jay walking across Homestead is very dangerous! We do not encourage or endorse using the parking facilities of the businesses across Homestead.
If everyone works together the traffic will move smoothly and our students will safely begin and end their day!
WELCOME TO LBJ MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR
THE 2008-2009 SCHOOL YEAR
The faculty and staff welcome you and your students to a new year at LBJ. We look forward to working with you and sharing our enthusiasm for academic achievement, belief in student success, and coyote pride.
All of this information in this packet will help you prepare for an exciting 2008-2009 school year.
Thank you for your continued support. Together we can make a difference for the students at LBJ Middle School!
